The Milwaukee Brewers manager, Pat Murphy, won the NL Manager of the Year 2024 award in his first season as the team captain. After Craig Counsell, the most essential manager in the history of the franchise, he went to the same position with Chicago CubsFew fans and analysts gave Milwaukee many shots from the competition in 2024.
However, under the leadership of Murphy, the newborn Brewers won 93 matches and won the second another crown of NL Central Division. While they were eliminated much too early from Play -Ffs, it is challenging to deny that it was a special year in Milwaukee.
On Saturday evening, Murphy received his award at the 100th annual dinner with baseball writers in New York. During his speech he joked about one of the most terrifying brewer players, but one that Murphy is very respecting.
Milwaukee Brewers Manager Pat Murphy jokes that Freddie Freeman plays in Japan
After opening the speech with a great statement of Bob Uecker, the beloved voice of Radio Brewers, who recently died, Murphy told how special the 2024 season was for him.
After the name of brewer stars, such as Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio, who helped do it unique, he said that one player who thinks a lot about how amazing this year Los Angeles Dodgers, Freddie Freeman was.
“What a privilege is the main manager of the league.”

“I think about Freddie Freeman. A guy who was very mean to brewers. He crushed us. He sent us home as brave. He sent us home as Dodger. I hope he will go to Japan or something like that, “Murphy joked.
Then seriously and praised the star of Dodgers for defeating so many to support his team win the World Series.
Last summer it was revealed that the son of Freeman, Max, was diagnosed with a neurological disorder known as Guillain-Barré syndrome, an attacking the body’s immune disorder.
In addition to the need to overcome his own injuries, Freeman had to spend some time from the team to be with his little boy when he was in the hospital.
When Freeman and his family worked for this challenging time, Murphy and Piwowarów sent a video to him, saying their fierce rival that they thought about him, praying for his son and that they wish him all the best.
When he returned to the Dodgers, Freeman publicly thanked Murphy and the brewers for their kindness.
“Many of us are fathers and simply spoke with us,” said Murphy at a time when he learned about Freeman’s gratitude. “You know, we all respect Freddie. Although he treated brewers for years, we just respect how he plays the game and we thought it was right to contact him in this difficult time. “
Murph is really one of a kind.
