So a little background on Dale (Bryan) Murphy. He was born March 12, 1956 in Portland, Oregon and is a former Major League Baseball outfielder and first baseman. During an 18-year baseball career, 1976–1993, he played for three different teams, but is noted for his time with the Atlanta Braves.
Murphy won consecutive National League Most Valuable Player Awards in 1982–1983, the National League's Silver Slugger Award four straight years 1982–1985, and the National League's Gold Glove award five straight years 1982–1986.
Most important, I think, is that he was nicknamed the "Beeg Donkey" by Rico Carty.
