About Eddie Murray, Hall of Famer

Eddie Murray was a switch-hitting first baseman and designated hitter who spent most of his career with the Baltimore Orioles starting in 1977. Nicknamed "Steady Eddie," he won Rookie of the Year in his debut season and made 18 All-Star teams over his career. Though he never captured an MVP award, he finished in the top ten of voting eight times. Murray holds the record for most RBIs among switch-hitters and led all players with 996 RBIs during the 1980s. He won his only World Series championship with Baltimore in 1983, hitting two home runs in the clinching Game 5. After leaving the Orioles, he played for the Dodgers, Mets, Indians, Angels, and returned to Baltimore before retiring. Murray was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2003 on his first ballot.
