Former Mets infielder — and 2015 postseason hero — Daniel Murphy is headed back to New York to play baseball. No, not for the Amazins, but for the Long Island Ducks.
Yes, seriously. The 37-year-old was at Citi Field last August for Old Timers’ Day. Apparently, that stirred up something inside of him to play for real again.
The Ducks announced their signing of Murphy via press release. Here’s what Murphy had to say about this upcoming opportunity:
This game is part of my soul, and my passion for playing grew as great as ever when I discovered certain things that I believe will enable me to be productive on the field again.
