	Bob Murphy (1924-2004)
		His name was Bob Murphy, who was joined by Lindsay Nelson, and Ralph Kiner as the trio whose voices would accompany Mets baseball to fans who at first referred to the team as the "lovable losers" as they lost 120 games that first season.
		Murphy would be the unknown of the three as Kiner was a Hall of Fame slugger who owned the Home Run title in the late 40s and early 50s, and Nelson was already well known for Notre Dame Football recap.
		Bob Murphy would never call another Mets World Championship as their dream in 1988 fell short in the NLCS, which was followed by another prolonged period of losing in the 90s.

		Bob was a bit of an acquired taste for me. In the early 1960's when I was a kid, I thought Kiner by far the best of the three announcers.
		Bob Murphy was on my radar for a long time, but the 1986 season with the most improbable of World Series finishes was beyond belief: "The Mets are going to win, the Mets are going to win.

	The Galvin Opinion
		I listened to Bob Murphy calling Mets games since I was a little kid.

		Bob Murphy was one of a kind, but had broad appeal because he acted like he was the average and ordinary baseball fan.
