Brewers manager Pat Murphy recalls heart attack scare, ponders a new tattoo
67-year-old Brewers manager Pat Murphy survived a heart attack in 2020. Six years later, he's one win away from making Brewers history.
ST. PETERSBURG, FL — Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy has been contemplating a new tattoo and found potential inspiration during a pregame press conference on October 27, just before Game 4 of the World Series.
During the event, Murphy recounted a harrowing experience from six years ago, when he suffered a heart attack while working as the bench coach for the Brewers. He recounted the incident with the following details: "I swore I wasn't having a heart attack. The ambulance driver, wherever he is, the ambulance driver out there that was in the back of the ambulance that day, I apologize, Murphy began."
Murphy expressed regret for not apologizing on the record, as the paramedic was insisting on learning his next of kin. After a series of tests and a conversation with his trainer, Scott Barringer, Murphy was assured he would be fine.
In the aftermath of the ordeal, Murphy had a philosophical realization: "Yeah, I don't know if it changed me at all. It always does when you think about the seriousness of when you're raising kids." He concluded by sharing his consideration for a tattoo, mentioning the possibility of inscribing the phrase "2026, remember, man, you're dust and to dust you shall return."
