I grew up in the ‘80s in Bend, OR watching our 1 TV station, WTBS. The Atlanta Braves were my team, and Dale Murphy my favorite player of all time. I played high school, college, a year in Japan, then 17 years in the NABA/MSBL leagues in Portland and San Diego. Thank you, Dale Murphy, for inspiring me as a young ball player and instilling a sense of pride and love for the game that has remained with me ever since. Hats off to you, sir. Legend, indeed.
