I started watching baseball in 79 and 80 as a young kid so I was a much bigger Eddie Murray fan than I was Cal Ripken which made me feel like the only one in Baltimore to feel that way

I went to two Orioles games in 1982 and Eddie instantly became my favorite. I liked Ripjen, I LOVED Murray.

Eddie Murray led all of MLB in batting average in 1990, but did not win the title in either league. Willie McGee played most of that season with the Cardinals and was leading the NL in hitting when he was traded to Oakland. McGee qualified for the NL crown, so he won out even though he spent the final weeks of the year in the other league. And though Eddie Murray never won a league MVP award, he led all major leaguers in MVP votes for the entire decade of the 1980's.

Thanks for clarifying that! It was a lot to spit out in the video, so I omitted that whole situation.

@danocatster 3 ай бұрын

Should note that he started switch hitting in the minors because he struggled hitting breaking balls from right-handed pitchers. It's rare to master switch hitting as a pro. It saved his career.

I loved watching Eddie Murray bat. But by the time I really got into following baseball, he was a DH for the Cleveland Indians.

@Hatbilly 4 ай бұрын

I believe Eddie mentioned they were doing their pregame routine together that day, and Ripken pointed out that "today's the day" when a fact about the streak appeared on the Camden Yards scoreboard.

He didn't speak to the media because he had a beef with them over something about them and his mother. If he hadn't ended up with 3000 hits and 500 home runs I'm guessing the writers would have tried to pass him over for a couple years for the Hall of Fame bc they really hated that he ignored them

Hey Willy, I think that's a great idea, and good timing because of the news of Negro Leagues stats finally being considered as official MLB stats. I'll see what I can put together! Might be a situation to dive deep and find some other players similar to Luke who deserve a mention. Tell Christine I said hello!

I would put Murray in the same category as Biggio, as great as they both were in many areas, their greatest strengths were probably their durability and consistency. Also, Craig Biggio has the modern record for HBP, but he's also only 2 behind the all time record that was set way back in the day. I'm trying to start an online campaign to get him to come out of retirement just to get beaned 3 times and take his rightful record, just like Mr. 3000🤣

Being honest,Eddie was an amazing player!.Not the nicest dude though..As a real young kid I caught a lot of Dodger games and waited outside to see the players after games..Eddie could be rough.It wasent Eddie not signing autographs.A lot of players were like that.Eddie wouldn’t even acknowledge a person’s existence..He would walk right through you.Even bang into people then yell at them to get out of the way..He seemed kinda tortured..But all these yrs later I hear good things about Eddie and charities and just being a good guy..He seems much happier now! I even see him smile nowadays!

I stopped watching baseball after Murray eas traded to the dodgers. The way the owner and fans turn on him was disgusting and had to be partially racially motivated as Ripken, to that point had done less for the Orioles, but could do no wrong.
