Bobby Murcer(1946-2008)
- Actor
A baseball prodigy as a youngster, Bobby Murcer was drafted by the New
York Yankees and was tabbed for stardom as the replacement to Mickey
Mantle. While Murcer had a solid career in the Major Leagues, he didn't
quite live up to the lofty expectations given him and he was traded to
the San Francisco Giants, then Chicago Cubs. Murcer returned to the
Yankees in 1979, where he finished out his career as a designated
hitter. He was an All-Star several times and did hit 252 career home
runs.
