Return of Eddie Murray
On July 21, 1996 the Orioles re acquired longtime Oriole Eddie Murray from the Indians in exchange for pitcher Kent Mercker.[32] Murray, a member of the 1983 World Series Champion Orioles, would subsequently hit his 500th career home run later in the season. As a commemoration of this event, an orange seat was installed in the outfield stands where Murray's 500th home run landed. The Orioles had a record of 49 wins and 46 losses before the trade, and 39 28 after the trade, not including the playoffs. During the 1996 playoffs, Eddie Murray hit .333 and hit HR while producing 3 home runs.
The trade for Eddie Murray sparked the Orioles to have a better record after his arrival, than before. One can attribute that to his great leadership, which <a href="http://www.ramptechinc.com/Refur.aspx">Cheap jordans for Kids</a> http://www.ramptechinc.com/Refur.aspx is well documented, as a Sporting News correspondent, Michael P. Geffner said, "To think of Murray as anything other than a <a href="http://www.mentalhealthweeklynews.com/Scripts/automail.aspx">cheap womens Jordans</a> http://www.mentalhealthweeklynews.com/Scripts/automail.aspx great player these days is not to have a dissenting opinion anymore but to be dead wrong, blind not only to the inner game but to an understanding of what truly raises baseball to something classic and beautiful when the game is executed purely and seamlessly. Which is Eddie Murray to a T.".[33] The Orioles success after the trade can also be attributed to the theory of "Power, worth, and recognition,[34] " which Thomas S. Parish who is an associate professor of psychology at Upper Iowa University, Fayette, Iowa describes as a type of motivation where athletes attempt to out do or "show off" to each other, which leads to better statistics, and more wins. In Eddie Murray's last at bat with the Orioles he hit a home run off of New York Yankee pitcher, Andy Pettitte.Game 1, October 1
