Rick Santorum's Wife Sued Doctor For $500,000 In 1999
The Miami Dolphins decided not to draft Howie Long's son with the #1 overall pick. However, they will have a rookie with a famous dad when camp starts.
Miami drafted Shawn Murphy, a guard from Utah State, in the fourth round. Shawn is the son of former Atlanta Braves' outfield Dale Murphy.
Shawn is more of a finesse blocker (yes, that is such a thing) and not the big physical guy. He played tackle at USU but projects as a guard in the NFL. He, like his dad, is a Mormon and took a religious mission to Brazil after high school.
His dad, Dale, is one of those guys that is a tier below Hall Of Fame status. He was a 7-time All Star who won five Gold Gloves, four Silver Slugger Awards and two National League MVPs. In the 1980s (aka the Pre-Steroid Era), no National Leagure hit more home runs, played in more games, had more at bats and led in runs, hits, extra base hits, RBI, runs created, total bases, and plate appearances.
Dale has also written two books (as well as an autobiography) about the off-field issues of being a professional player and being a parent of a youth in athletics. He also started iwontcheat.com which promotes ethics in youth sports and to try to keep cheating and steroids out of sports.
