Biography
[edit | edit source]Murphy spent most of his career with the Philadelphia Athletics and moved from second base to outfielder in 1910 to make room for the Athletics' new second baseman Eddie Collins.[1] During the Athletics 1913 World Championship season, Murphy's playing time was limited by a broken knee cap; as a result, he did not play in the World Series, but served as the team's acting captain.[1]
In 1,496 games, Murphy batted .289 (1563-5399) with 705 runs scored, 289 doubles, 102 triples, 44 home runs, 702 RBI, 193 stolen bases,, an on-base percentage of .336 and a slugging percentage of .405 in 16 seasons. In 16 World Series games, he hit .305 (18-59) with one home run and 12 RBI.
