Dwayne Murphy Biography

Dwayne Murphy is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on March 18, 1955 in California, California, United States. Six-time Gold Glove-winning outfielder who played 12 seasons in the major leagues.

During his time with the A’s, he typically hit second in the lineup behind legendary base stealer Rickey Henderson.

Murphy was born in Merced, California, about 120 miles from Oakland. After graduating from Antelope Valley High School in Lancaster, California, Murphy was drafted in the 15th round in the 1973 draft by the Oakland Athletics, after turning down a football scholarship from Arizona State University.

Like Henderson, Murphy also had good speed. He stole 26 bases in both 1980 and

1982. He also had good power numbers. His biggest offensive year came in 1984, when he hit 33 home runs and drove in 88 runs. He was one of the best defensive players in the game, winning an incredible six straight Gold Gloves from 1980 to 1985. His signature play became a trademark of sorts for him – his hat blowing off his head on virtually every play he made, from tracking down routine fly balls to making spectacular catches deep in the Valley.

He married his wife Brenda in 1973 when he was just 18 years old.
