Who is Pat Murphy? What to know about the Milwaukee Brewers manager

Pat Murphy is the manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, a baseball team with the best record in the league. He took over the managerial position in 2023 after Craig Counsell left for the Chicago Cubs. Murphy has been with the Brewers since 2015, first as Craig Counsell's bench coach and then as the team's manager. He has been a beloved figure among the players, who enjoy his unusual snack offerings during games.

Murphy has won the National League manager of the year award twice, the only Brewers manager to do so. Before joining the Brewers, he managed the San Diego Padres briefly in 2015. Murphy's relationship with Craig Counsell dates back to their time together at Notre Dame and in the Padres minor league organization. He has been married three times and has four children, two of whom regularly attend his press conferences.

Murphy has a heart attack history, but returned to the Brewers shortly after the 2020 season. He is an avid Bruce Springsteen fan, and even received a surprise FaceTime call from the musician before the World Series.
