SAN FRANCISCO — There’s no better indication of Mike Murphy’s impact on the Giants organization than the guest list for his Wall of Fame induction.Fifty current and former Giants players, coaches and executives showed up to enshrine “Murph,” their clubhouse manager, at Oracle Park before the Giants’ game against Atlanta on Sunday afternoon. They represented just a handful of players Murphy worked with during his 65 years in the Giants clubhouses between Candlestick and Oracle Park.Will Clark, a fellow Wall of Famer, recalled his favorite Murphy quote in his ceremony speech: “I’ll be here when you get here, and I’ll be here when you’re gone.”It’s fitting that Murphy became a permanent part of the Oracle Park walls, because there’s no ballpark fixture like him. He’s a Giants lifer who started as a 16-year-old ball boy in 1958, the first year the Giants were in San Francisco after moving out west from N...
