My girlfriend said I’d look good in a moustache, about two months ago. I grew it out, it looked ok so I kept it. My average went up about 40 points in the process too so I kept it.

Coaching. I don’t like anything else. This is what I grew up wanting to do and when I can’t play anymore I want to coach, be involved somehow, something in the game. I’d like to manage in the minor leagues.

The fan support is great, especially of late. They’ve responded well. I hear my name called out a lot, it’s a lot of fun. There’s a buzz when I come up to the plate and I really enjoy that.

Murphy has played first base in all but three games this year.
