The 2015 postseason was one of the most memorable we've seen in a long time, thanks in large part to a magical run by Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy. With home runs in six (!) consecutive games and seven dingers overall, he carried New York to the World Series, sparing no NL Cy Young candidate along the way. As he deposited baseball after baseball into grandstand after grandstand, fans around the world couldn't help but mutter: "Damn, Daniel".
Now that the phrase has been rejuvenated in a totally different context, Murphy's heroics can finally receive the updated celebration they deserve. Enjoy:
