Bob Murphy

Robert Allan Murphy
Born: September 19, 1924
Died: August 3, 2004 in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Along with Ralph Kiner, Bob was there ever since game one in 1962, working constantly for the Mets for over 40 years until his retirement in 2003. Who could ever forget his signature postgame phrase, "Back for the happy recap!"? This is his card from the 2002 Fleer 40th Anniversary All-Amazin' Team set.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture. The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal. Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection. I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
