+ JACK RED MURRAY +

Murray attended LOCK HAVEN COLLEGE, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. In 1904, Murray changed schools to the UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME, playing as a CATCHER for the FIGHTING IRISH. In 1906, he was signed by the ST. LOUIS Cardinals, and the next year he played at RIGHT FIELD and hit seven home runs. During the season, Murray hit a 471-foot (144 m) home run. In 1908, he played in all 154 games and finished second in the National League in stolen bases (48), and third both in hits (167) and home runs (7).

Murray was traded to the NEW YORK GIANTS and helped win JOHN MCGRAW three consecutive pennants. From 1909 to 1912, he ranked third in the league in RBI, trailing only HONUS WAGNER and SHERRY MAGEE. Murray and Wagner tied for the most home runs in the majors from 1907 through 1909 (21)

According to popular myth, Murray is remembered for being struck by lightning in a 1914 game. Murray, playing in the outfield for the New York Giants, caught a fly ball which would prove to be the final out of a 21 inning game on July 17, 1914. Immediately after catching the ball Murray was struck by lightning and rendered unconscious

Red Murray was for years noted as one of the greatest outfielders in the National League. His throwing arm was the best ever, his ground covering ability and sureness of eye were classic. Furthermore, he was remarkably fast as a base runner, and noted as a batter as well. In his seven seasons as a regular, Murray led NL outfielders in home runs, runs batted in, stolen bases, and assists a total of 16 times. Despite his impressive statistics in power hitting, baserunning, and fielding, he remains one of the least-recognized stars of the Deadball Era
