Eddie Murray Recalls His 500th Home Run | Orioles vs. Tigers - September 6, 1996

[@IRex-wm9pd]

My favorite sports figure of all time. Mr. Clutch. No one else above him.

[@sean7735]

Favorite player ever! Lucky enough to see his whole career. Funny how he says about his 500th HR " It was nice to get that out of the way". Best Oriole ever! & that bomb in the ALCS in 83 after being thrown at was one the most memorable in my life

[@billysikes1374]

Very underrated player

[@scottpalmer829]

I was listening to the game on the radio that night. If I recall correctly, shortly before the home run, Eddie hit what would have been a double down the line but it was ruled a foul. It certainly worked out well! BTW- Eddie was my favorite Oriole when he was on the team.

[@kevinwilkins3248]

My all time favorite player too! And such an awesome, humble man. He and Mantle, the greatest switch hitters ever.

[@timothystrother6705]

One of the greatest switch hitters ever

[@rayk48]

Steady Eddie. His glove contributed to many Os wins as well. What a great player, Such a blow to us Os fans when he was traded to the Dodgers. He was so loved by the fans.

[@jasonhaner2319]

Loved those games at memorial park..Eddie was my favorite oriole ever..

[@rayshardsmith2546]

Memorial Park ???? 🤨

[@jasonhaner2319]

@@rayshardsmith2546 memorial stadium.

[@rob7325]

Such a cool demeanor and a class act that could play in any generation. Miss this dude.

[@guero8820]

Man he was a good ball player, miss the old school ball players

[@Luxuriousentertainment]

Me too

[@adrianlamont9731]

Miss the memorial stadium days in the 80s

[@jasonhaner2319]

I grew up in south central PA..my dad and his best friend would take me to memorial stadium every weekend they had a game. Remember the lowenbrau and eskay ads on the scoreboard?

[@chrisknefel8432]

That's "My Main Man" ... Steady Eddie #33. It was a pleasure to watch you play with the O's and see you have so many clutch game winning hits! Of course I have your jersey in Orange.

[@donaldwatson3176]

When ball players were still real men!

[@Luxuriousentertainment]

Indeed. Sports is just about money now. No one plays the game (NBA, NFL, MLB) for the love any more!!!

[@gskessingerable]

What a great player he was.

[@davidshelton8212]

The best clutch hitter I ever saw. Eddie would always delivered for the O's when it was needed. He mostly hit it out of the park every time. One of the best switch hitters of all time.

[@johnnyjoey]

Love the way he drives that ball! It looks great right off the bat!

[@RaD818]

Best switch hitter ever

[@jimtaylor6447]

rad818 lol no

[@scottmitchell1974]

Coolest man to ever play MLB. That 83 homer was an "eff you" if there ever was one. Literally the best bases-loaded batter ever...in MLB history.

[@AwnPoynt]

Agreed 💯

[@jpmace321]

i have been a Os Fan for years we had some great years

[@vincentrobinson3078]

Murray had such a natural, sweet follow through swing. Tape measured shots !! Sure miss 70’s-80’s baseball !!

[@jab7866]

One of my All Time Favorite Orioles, Wish he had played his whole career with the O's

[@kevinblanch]

the GREATEST SWITCH HITTER IN HISTORY ;; TOP 20 PLAYERS IN HISTORY

[@daveb970]

I've been to 2 Oriole's dream weeks, wished he could have been there either time. It was cool hearing Eddie stories from Boddicker, though.

[@M98-j9k]

Wish we had more class acts like him today

[@RomanskyJr]

Best switch hitter ever on baseball...

[@robinrahmani4705]

So underrated. He was not just great, but also a class act. He and Ripken were probably the two most gentlemanly teammates

[@jmac212003]

I spent my childhood worshipping this man, replicating his stance in the batter’s box whether in little league or wiffleball (wallball) with friends. That open faced uncoil swing was so beautiful. I wanted to be everything like Eddie. Got to see him play in Anaheim 1985 the day he hit 3 homeruns, and almost a 4th that went to the warning track. Angel Stadium chanting EDDIE, EDDIE, EDDIE as he gave us a curtain call to this day gives me goosebumps.

[@jasonhaner2319]

I played first base in my league because of him...he was a hero to many people

[@michaelmartelloHelmetDiecast]

My all time favorite person for the Orioles EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE

[@redbulls1337]

Loved Eddie. My favorite Oriole.

[@thomasbailey9605]

LEGEND!!! Thanks for the great memories, Eddie!!!!

[@Zorn76]

CLASS human being. WONDERFUL Baseball player.

[@lacellelamb9560]

I have had the privilege to have Esdie Murray and Ray Lewis on my flight LA to Bmore! We had a blast!

[@pglover2010]

A class act and credit to the game!

[@ScottPalmer-mp1we]

I remember hearing this on the radio. It was one of my greatest baseball thrills. If I recall correctly, Murray just missed hitting a double down the line a couple of pitches before he hit the home run.

[@kingfloyd9928]

My idol I always wanted to meet him

[@robschannel4512]

I remember the end of Brooks Robinsons career, Boog, The great pitching of the seventies and eighties. But all of Eddie and Cals careers. Eddie was the best.

[@marcusanderson933]

Steady Eddie! ⚾️

[@waynewells3297]

I get “nice to get that out of the way”. As a musician if a big performance was coming up, you felt responsible to live up to the moment, which adds so much pressure (about 1 millionth the pressure that was on Eddie), but there was a sense of relief when it was over.

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

this let me KNOW. we can do miraculous things with our minds/manifest, when we make-up our mind.

[@timd8912]

I miss ya Vinny. I wish i could send this to you in heaven.....

[@timd8912]

@Mo Safren thank you so much....

[@ryanbratoc]

It's very sad that the Orioles only has this many subscribers.....

[@totalrobot]

Top tier switch hitter

[@deontejames7244]

Awesome footage... from your OKC FAM

[@travisedwards3543]

Smoooth. 🙏👐 (Thats all you can say)

[@tonyduffy9027]

He was smooth and classy

[@living_the_mac_and_cheese_life]

one of the few players in history that can hit a HR with just his arm strength.

[@juanantoniojimenez3357]

Amén Dios vendiga

[@greeneggs16]

I’m and Indians fan hate to say now Guardians fan.. but it was cool to see him hit his 3000th for the Tribe, but obviously always an Oriole

[@doughboy3376]

Kids a stud

[@jamesfarrington9030]

They didnt call him Steady Eddie for nothing. One of the greatest to have played the game.

[@obiuchennafairweatherlaing1145]

Eddie Eddie Eddie

[@anguslean4058]

Probably the last legit 500 home run guy.

[@cjones3710]

Mel Proctor was great. I cannot understand why anyone would want anything but the Truth on commentary

[@Gl6619]

The bat drop was the original bat flip

[@Doors067]

I have two of those orange signs are they rare? I had eddie sign one of them haha

[@MaxyBoy-x9u]

The last years of a long era of success for the Os. I was at the game they lost to Cleveland to send the Indians to the WS. Then that terrible ownership started making their terrible decisions. And all these years later this once great franchise sucks. I still root for them. But man it's been a dry spell.

[@wvjj7046]

Worst trade ever for the Orioles sending him to the Dodgers. Even worse then the awful Glen Davis trade..

[@RobertDGordon]

A now ex-girlfriend’s friend had tickets to this game but didn’t go… she called my girlfriend to see if I wanted to go instead, and she told her no without asking me. Like I said… an EX girlfriend.
