Ethic of Hope and Hard Work Defines May and Murphy
Chicago White Sox outfielder Carlos May and pitcher Danny Murphy embody perseverance amid setbacks. May, 22, survived a traumatic thumb injury and regained form to post a .300+ average with an 18 homer season, while Murphy, 21, endured minor league failures before a bullpen rise. Both credit family support and later bonus earnings for sustaining their long, narrowing paths to the majors.
