1993: Dale Murphy retired




Dale Murphy retired on this day in 1993.   
Murphy broke with the Braves at the end of 1976.    He won two NL MVP awards and was one of the best players in the game for a dozen seasons.
He stayed with the Braves until 1990.   He finished in Philadelphia for a couple of seasons and the Colorado in 1993.
His career numbers were awesome:  398 HR & 1,266 RBI.  He led the NL in HR in 1984 and 1985.
Murphy didn’t get to play with all of those great Braves’ teams of the 1990s.   He was gone by the time that the Braves were winning all of the titles.
Great player.
