Posted on by Robert Lockard

Dale Murphy was drafted in the first round of the 1974 Major League Baseball draft by the Atlanta Braves. He went on to have a long and successful career, winning back-to-back National League MVP Awards (youngest player in history to achieve this feat at that time), as well as five Gold Gloves, four Silver Sluggers, and numerous other awards and honors through the years.

He was a seven-time All-Star and still today is known as one of the most beloved athletes to ever play in Atlanta.
