My husband and I have a bit of a soft spot for David Murphy, who came up through the Red Sox farm system. Over the years we cheered for him as a Portland (Maine) Sea Dog (AA), a Pawtucket (RI) Red Sox (AAA) player, and finally as a member of the Boston Red Sox. We spoke to him at batting practice at Fenway a few months ago when the Rangers were in town (he signed a ball for us). NICE guy, and we're so happy for him!
