Dale Murphy - Atlanta Brave 1976 - 90 (the "beeg donkey")

Dale Murphy was born in Portland, Oregon on March 12, 1956. He played for the Atlanta Braves from 1976 to 1990. He was an outfielder, first baseman and catcher. He batted and threw as a right hander. While Rico Carty was known as the "Beeg Boy" (yes, he named himself that), he named Dale the "beeg donkey". He was the pride of the Atlanta Braves farm system in the 70's and Rico saw the great talent he would become.
