A future Hall of Famer isn't selected until the third round? In advance of Murray's vintage interview being posted next week, the Orioles scouting director who drafted him explains what happened.
My favorite memories of Eddie Murray were watching him hit with 2 strikes in the clutch. He'd shorten his swing and dump a single to the opposite field. One of the greatest hitters ever.
What an extraordinary, unappreciated ballplayer Eddie was. The Orioles were blessed to have him. Well done John.
Great story about a truly great Oriole.
