- Enshrined in the Hall of Fame. July 27, 2003. The man nicknamed “Everyday Eddie” gets his day in Cooperstown -- and becomes immortal. Enshrined with 85.2 percent of the vote, Murray was elected on the first ballot on the heels of his decorated 21-year career.
- Joining the 500-homer club. Sept. 6, 1996. When you’re part of a group that included (at the time) only Willie Maysand Hank Aaron, that’s good company. Murray joined those ranks down the stretch in ’96, shortly after returning via trade to Baltimore, where he spent his first 12 seasons.
- Earning a ring. Oct. 16, 1983. In 1979, the Orioles fell one win short of a championship. In ’82, they missed the postseason by one game. By ’83, they were hungry and talented, led by in-their-primes Murray and Cal Ripken Jr.The result was perhaps Murray’s best individual season and his only championship, as the Orioles beat the Phillies in five games for the ’83 crown.
- Hit No. 3,000. June 30, 1995. A little more than a year before joining the 500-homer club, Murray had already solidified his Hall of Fame resume. Though Murray never collected 200 hits in a season, he was remarkably consistent, totaling at least 170 hits 12 times.
