Bob Murphy passes on to a greater place.: Talk of a true Iron Man...broadcasting games for the Mets since the NL returned to NYC in '62, up through the end of the 2003 season. Quite sad he did not get to enjoy far more of his retirement. I don't think I overstate the case by saying that true baseball fans everywhere will miss him.

His was the voice I heard as a kid but never quite knew who he was--contrasted with Kiner, the ex-star.
