Patrick Murphy tried to give Montana Fouts a moment during the Tide’s 2-0 loss to Stanford Friday in the College World Series.
In the top of the seventh inning, as Murphy monitored the Tide’s comeback hopes, he sensed an opportunity. Alabama’s head coach wanted to give his senior pitcher her metaphorical roses. To him, this was Fouts’ Cuba Gooding Jr. in “Jerry Maguire” scene: a star on their last rodeo getting to soak in the praise from the crowd one last time.
People are also reading… “I would take any second to be out there,” Fouts said after loss to Stanford that eliminated Alabama from the College World Series. “Home run or not, I love playing softball. I wouldn’t change a thing. I think Murph knew that before he ran out there, that I wasn’t coming out of the game. I would never take a pitch off from playing a game with these girls.”
In totality, Fouts’ run to history reinforced a neat piece of UA marketing. Legends are made in Tuscaloosa, and Fouts is the latest example. Murphy watched first-hand as Fouts developed into a household name. Scan the crowd at any Alabama contest and you’d see her signature ‘14′ printed on the backs of multiple jerseys and T--shirts. Listen to the roar from Rhoads Stadium when her name is called. Murphy said he’s even watched Fouts give autographs at the team hotel in Oklahoma City.
