He didn’t look like a Jed, so I couldn’t call him after my all-time favorite person to do anything with baseball, Jed Lowrie, but he did look an awful lot like a Murphy, so Murphy it was. My roommate and I had just discovered that Daniel Murphy was extremely good-looking, too, so his name popped into my head. As you can see, we were clearly right:

And because I can, here’s one of Cat!Murphy:
