Everybody in baseball loves him. Here is why.
Chris Haft helps legendary and beloved Giants equipment manager tell an amazing story of a life well lived in baseball. How Murph is regarded is revealed through the warm comments and anecdotes from the likes of Willie Mays, Frank Sinatra, George Bush and decades of Major League players who talk of his character and loyalty. A must read for baseball fans.

Chris Haft's love for the SF Giants is legendary, and once again he's produced a book that warms fans' hearts with inside stories and wonderful insights into the people and relationships that make a ball club tick. Very fun book, great gift for any fan. I bought three more.

Great book for Giants and baseball fans
If you like the Giants, then you'll like this book. Brought back a lot of memories and insights to things I didn't know about. Also a great history book about the Giants in San Francisco.
Great memories from the SF Giants clubhouse manager!
Wow...Chris Haft has done it again! I thoroughly enjoyed this book...such an interesting perspective writing about the clubhouse manager, Mike “Murph” Murphy and the many stories and insights he has from his 6 decades of working for the Giants! You hit a home run with this one Mr. Haft!

Great insight on Murph the Man!
This was a very entertaining and informative book on a clubhouse legend who has been with the Giants for 60 years! Love the chapter on Frank Sinatra and how players get their jersey numbers and nicknames. It was great to read about a man we've all seen for years in the Giants dugout and knew next to nothing about.
