Baltimore Orioles Throwback Thursday: Eddie Murray

Eddie Murray was a great home run hitter, one of the greatest in the history of Major League Baseball, to be exact. Murray had such a smooth swing, sending baseballs deep into the stands as fans watched in awe on a nightly basis.

When the Baltimore Orioles won the World Series in 1983, Murray had 33 homers (the most for him in any season), 111 RBIs, a .306 batting average, .536 slugging percentage, and .930 OPS%. Murray was a key component in the success of the Baltimore Orioles that season and for the franchise during his time with the ball-club.
