- Eddie Murray was on his first All Star team in 1978. Murray didn't play in the 1978 game, but he would be on seven more All Star teams in his career.
- Eddie had a slight improvement over his rookie 1977 season. His numbers in 1978 were VERY close to his career 162-game average.
- 1978 Stats: .285, 27 HR, 95 RBI in 161 games
- 1978 Highlights:
- May 10 - Hit a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the Orioles a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox
- June 13 - Hit a game-tying home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. The Orioles eventually beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 in 11 innings.
- Aug 3 - Hit a 2-out home run in the 10th inning to lift the Orioles to a 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
500 HR at 27 per 162 games...Meh.
ReplyDeleteBaltimore must be French for "men who put up amazing career stats because they stuck around forever"
The Aug. 3 game was against the Brewers.
