If Chris Murphy was a year younger, he might have very well been a high school baseball coach and history teacher. But he's not. He is a pitcher who finds himself on the doorstep of becoming a major leaguer thanks to his recent promotion to the Red Sox' 40-man roster. The affable lefty joins Bradfo to talk about his path, the pair's shared love of watching World War II docs, the challenge of making dad not wear a Yankees fan, and the touching story regarding his ultimate motivation to make the big leagues. Murphy is one to watch, and one to listen to.
