Dale Murphy and Tom Glavine. God, I miss the 90s. Two class-act guys.
Me too!
Old school baseball
Murphy should be in HOF. Was one of the best in the 1980s.
He was no Rabbit Maranville.
I remember this so vividly. It was one of the most Braves moments ever. Tom Glavine looked like he was being asked to plunk his Dad. The look of shame and disgust, as he was walking to the dugout, on his face says everything about what Dale Murphy meant to the entire Braves universe, from the fans all the way up to the players and coaches.
And it appears Dale Murphy knows that it wasn’t meant to be malicious. Ump should have ignored the ejections on that one.
He took a lot off of his stuff and was pissed at Bobby Cox for making him do it
@@douglasbrittain7018 Glavine acts like he did not want to play dirty like that. In fact, he’s not even throwing those pitches very hard. I’ve never known Tom Glavine to play dirty or have a bad attitude. I’ve always just seen him deliver his pitches, and that be that
I feel like he even missed him 4 times on purpose rather than actually plunking him. 12 Strikeouts across 8 innings tells you the kind of control he had. He 100% could have plunked him on the first pitch if he truly wanted to.
@@LucianDevine he was NOT happy on the order from Bobby Cox. Took a lot off his “fastball” and made no argument when he was ejected.
Not only did Glavine win the game, going 8 IP, 12 K's, 0 earned runs, but he was 3 for 4 at the plate with 2 RBI!
@Bigfriendly15 Drafted by the LA Kings as well!
One must also remember that Glavine hadn't yet established himself as an ace. Yes he would win 305 games, but winning this game would bring him to 43-43 for his career.
He was 3/4 ?
Might be one of the best "I have to hit you but I don' t want to" pitches I have ever seen.....Dale Murphy a seven-time All-Star, two-time Most Valuable Player in back-to-back seasons from 1982-83 and a five-time Gold Glove winner during his 18-year major league career. Mostly, Murphy is and will always be remembered as a Brave and an incredibly nice guy.
If you notice when Glavine gets to the bench his teammate tries to shake his hand and Glavine wanted no part of that and moved his hand away.
@@tlininger36 Yep! he was instructed to throw at Murphy and he didn't want nothing to do with it but did what he was told to do. Those pitches were what maybe 75 mph? Hey, you know out of those Brave pitchers, Glavine has the most money....I think John Smoltz was the better of them.
Why was he throwing at him?
@FlappyBellyt he Phillies hit Otis Nixon, there was a brawl and then the Phillies threw at him again. Cox told Glavine to throw at Murphy. Glavine asked to throw at the next batter but Cox said no.
@@chris00nj Welp, that explains it! Thank You!
Dale Murphy is the reason I'm still a Braves fan to this day.
Hehe you have my sympathy. You will never see the 90s again as long as Boston is clicking.
gay
@@Carl-LaFong1618 your post is gay
Bobby Cox is the reason I’m not a Braves fan. What a gagger!! Arguably, the best pitching rotation in modern baseball with three, yes, three twenty game winners and all he could muster was one World Series championship in a decade.
Btw, Glavine is the reason I'm still a braves fan. 😉
I grew up in Boston and watched Braves baseball as a kid on TBS. Dale Murphy used to be my favorite player. For a 3 year stretch he was maybe the best all around hitter in the national league. Gwynn was a singles hitter but only Murphy and Schmitt hit for that kind of avg and power at that time. Bonds wasnt there yet. As a kid i remember watching him come up to hit and it seemed automatic he was going to either homer or rip a double down the line. Most underrated ballplayer of all time and a damn shame hes not in the HOF.
Murphy had the power and talent but I don't think he had the numbers for the HOF. I'm not trying to start an argument because I'm from Georgia and watched Braves baseball all my life.
Glavine threw those at softball speed. 2 classy players making revenge look as classy as possible.
then why do it at all, if you don't intend to hit the guy?
Did you listen to the clip at all? The orders were to hit him, Glavine isn't about that, so he just threw extreme inside pitches that were slow so Murph could get out of the way.
So why did he get ordered to throw at him?
@@ColbyePresents his teammate was hbp earlier in the game. It was retaliation. Old baseball unspoken rule: "You hit one of ours, we'll hit one of yalls"
LOL... yes, classy. Hardly at "softball speeds" as softball pitches are thrown from shorter distances and proportionally higher velocities.
Man, I remember watching this when it happened. Murphy was the reason I routed for the Braves as a young kid and Glavine was my idol as I pitched through high school. After Otis Nixon got drilled I knew Glav would have to retaliate the next half of the inning and I remember my heart sinking when I realized Murphy would be the first one up. I can't imagine what must have been going through Glavine's mind. I think he handled it as classy as anyone could. As did Murphy who never even really looked at Tom. I really admire both of these guys
Bink Hinkle rooted. Not routed.
Hey Frank. Homonym mistakes, they happen. Nobody likes a dizzle.
What I prefer is to not take CZcams comments too seriously. You should look into it.
@@mikedeveau7075 2 thumbs up Mike

The best display of sportsmanship I've ever seen.
Gosh, glavine was like, this is stupid. Here, I'll lob 4 up there and hit the showers. I don't play ball this way.
All he could have done to make it more clear he was throwing at him under protest would have been to roll the ball to the plate.
Likely a manager’s order. Dale Murphy is loved in Atlanta.
No, he wasn't. His teammate got drilled. He just responded in a way that way respectful to his former teammate. Everyone knew what was up.
@@AEMoreira81 Exactly! If it was anyone other than Murph they would have worn it!
There’s a 2023 interview with Glavine on the Foul Territory channel ref this incident. Cox had told him he had to throw at Murphy. Entertaining interview.
I just met Dale Murphy at the Braves/Blue Jays game last Weds nite. What a class act. He came up into our corporate suite and schmoozed everyone. Such a warm, friendly guy. He signed baseballs for us, took pics, etc. He made it seem like he wanted to be there, and spend time with complete strangers. He's as talented with people skills as he is with baseball skills. The Braves had a 6-run flurry in the inning he was visiting us, and he looked out longingly at the field and told me... "I miss it. I miss being young."
I spoke to him for about 10 minutes about the new restaurant he's opening up at the Cobb Galleria, just over the pedestrian bridge from the new SunTrust Park. Burgers, Beer and Wings. It's called Murph's.
After seeing him in his prime on TV for so many years, he still looks great... tall and trim, full head of gray hair. Still has that twinkle in his eye. Quintessential Atlanta Brave legend.
Great story man, disregart that petty childs comment. From everything Ive heard and seen from Murphy he seems like a genuine individual and a class act, the type of guy all ballplayers should emulate. Chipper Jones is another Brave that fits that bill. Glad he got in on the first ballot.
That's some real shit, man, thank you for sharing.
You're both old farts so why not get along with him in your last good years
Just the very little that I pick up on from M.L.B. players is that they are NOT in any way the most "congenial" type people you would want to meet. And Dale Murphy was much too nice a guy to be mixed up with such a sorry lot for such a long time!? GOOD for him when he finally retired!!!
Dale Murphy is a class act, period. If there was a Hall of Fame for being a great human being, Dale Murphy would be a first-ballot inductee.
The rules are about respect. This entire situation was a masterclass in respect.
That's a great way of summarizing it
No, its an exemplification of the clusterfucks that can occur when respect is held in too high esteem.
By no means was it a masterclass. The order to hit Murphy should have never been given. The order to hit Murphy should have never been enacted by Glavine, although I admit he did it half heartedly.
0:47 ump reaction is priceless. He's like "really Tom?" with the hands on the hips.
What makes it even better is the ump is none other than Balkin’ Bob Davidson!
dale murhpy , my all time favorite player.
I can't believe he's a cock sucker tho. I had no idea he was gay until this year.
***** dale murphy is homosexual. My gay uncle even introduced me to him. Closet gay, its a trip.
+lovangels55 steroids destroyed Murphy's ticket to the hall of fame. when he retired 398 homers were a lot and he hit tons of homers in a decade where 20 homers made u a home run hitter. after he retired the steroids hit full speed and everyone started hitting them. Murphy is the poster boy for being screwed over by cheaters.
+tophatter74 He was a back-to-back MVP winner too. Hopefully the veterans committee will look at his total package as a player on and off the field to get him in.
+lovangels55 Probably close to Tom Glavine's favorite player too.
Dale Murphy not being in the MLB Hall of Fame is proof that it’s just a Hall of Shame.
Agree
Did he have good enough numbers?
@@matthewgabbard6415 As it stands now, Murphy is the only player in the history of the game to win multiple National League MVP awards and not earn election into the Hall of Fame.
Lifetime BA .265, 398 hrs...I din't know, those numbers might not be HOF worthy to the voters...
Love Murph when I was a kid - great guy and had 6-7 great years in the 80’s. But his bat left him after the 87 season at age 31-32 unfortunately. And HOF hitters keep putting up good numbers into their late 30’s. If he’d had 3-4 I’m sure he’d be a lock for the HOF.
Dale Murphy wearing a Phillies jersey. Thanks just not right.
alonenjersey Right on. He also wore a Rockies jersey before it was over with.
Absolutely heartbreaking when I see the Murph in a Phillies jersey
MrAsmith1583 wish Murphy was on the 1990’s braves teams when he was in his prime instead of the early 80’s
Never was after he had been with The Braves all those years
Dale Murphy wasn’t a philly. No way he’d play for those losers. It must have been trick camera work.
The great number 3 lives on as an Atlanta brave!!!!
This looks like the series that got me hooked on Braves baseball for a while. I watched TBS a lot as a kid but never cared about baseball. Once, before I changed the channel from the game, it was Braves vs Phillies and Dale Murphy had just hit a home run. I remember the announcers saying that the Braves fans liked to see him hit those long homers, but they hated to see him do it against the Braves. I soon found out that they were having a miracle season, and I was hooked. The rest of the season was a nail-biter as they beat the Dodgers. Then a nail-biting 7 game NLCS with the Pirates. Then one of the most tense, sweating, edge of the seat series ever...only to lose to the Twins. Broke my heart. I just knew they had to win it, after all that. Still can't stand the Twins to this day!
You can tell Glavine did NOT want to do this.. at all..
And I believe from reading his book he took a lot of heat for it because Murphy was his friend.
Jon Martinez and Tim Thompson, I remember this like it happened yesterday and why Glavine threw at Murphy. I also have his book and have read it years ago. I may have to reread it lol. Coincidentally, Glavine autographed his book for me on/near April 11th, 2008 at Nationals Ballpark in DC while he was throwing his pregame bullpen warmups, after he had come back to the Braves.
Jon Martinez You could tell just by his non-reaction to getting tossed.
Agreed.
Yup.. Because he wasn't head hunting.
Intentionally throwing at the Murph is like kicking a puppy !
I would of done it. If you ask Bob Gibson he would of probably told you I dont care who they are I'll hit em if I think they needed hit.
For the update
@Vincent Cuttolo John Smoltz, Nolan Ryan, Dizzy Dean, the list goes on of pitches who hit batters even Cy Young hit batters on purpose I'm not saying hit them for no reason but its baseball.
@Vincent Cuttolo it's not being a jerk its baseball Bob Gibson said "all I ever really did was try and stand them up if they continued to lean in I'd hit them most the time if they leaned in to far they would hit themself's and that's the batters fault." Its not always the pitcher hitting the batter it's the batter thinking he can lean over the plate and that's there fault. But sometimes you just got to hit them and there is a proper spot to hit them he hit him in the proper area the guy just didnt move is elbow out of the way I'd be ducking out of the way if it was me and I didnt won't to get hit it's that take a base thing they do now and if your gonna do that you cant get mad if you get hit
@Vincent Cuttolo it's in his book I didnt say he only hit batters that leaned over the plate. Bob Gibson said most the batters he hit was because they leaned into far it's all in his and Reggie Jackson's book 60 feet 6 inches. Reggie Jackson even as a hitter talks about how a pitcher hitting batters in the okay to hit a batter spot (below the elbow above the waistline) "its just part of baseball and the way the game was, is, and should be played"- Reggie Jackson
Dale Murphy's interview on WIP with Glen & Ray brought me here. Class act!
I really loved watching Atlanta baseball on TBS! What a great broadcasting crew! As for this video, I have nothing but kudos for both players! Glavine. Murphy. Two of many great players that made my baseball childhood a great one! Cheers everyone! :-)
I've never seen a pitcher so reluctant to bean someone.
It was Dale Murphy, like someone commented, throwing at Murphy is like throwing a baseball at a puppy......would you throw baseballs at a puppy?
There's a video on here that has Dale Murphy talking about the hit by pitch and the history behind it all. It goes all the way back to the last time the Phillies and the Braves met up in ATL. Glavine didn't want to hit Murphy, but Bobby Cox told him to because they hit Otis Nixon twice for stealing bases while the Braves were already leading. There's not any disrespect towards Glavine, Murphy, or Cox. That's just how the game was back then.
I felt for Glavine. He couldn't bring himself to hit Murphy
Blake Hibberts
Yup. Those were fat blooper pitches and everybody knew it. Tom didn't even try to argue the ejection cause he just wanted out of that situation.
The way I saw it he was trying to hit him lightly but Dale kept backing out. I bet he wished Dale would just lean into one and get it over with it.
He never had intention of hitting Murphy. He did what he had to, Murphy knew it was coming and he stepped out of the way before the ball even got there. It actually got to Glavine that he had to do this.
Glavine's casual stroll off the mound is the most unusual reaction to being ejected from a game that I've ever seen. But no mystery as to why. Glavine genuinely didn't want to throw at a friend. Especially a guy like Murphy, a friend to pretty much EVERYBODY.
Ball 1: "Hey, Dale."
Ball 2: "Hey, Tommy, what's up?"
Ball 3: "My manager's an idiot. You should back off the plate a little."
Ball 4: "Got it. Cheers, dude, no hard feelings."

When Glavine went to the clubhouse you can tell he wasn't happy with Cox...
By the time
This is a true statement
well, at least Glavine has something in common with Lesbians, so there's that
Actually Glavine said in his Book; he wasn’t mad at Bobby Cox because he knew he had to defend Otis Nixon; he was upset that he didn’t get the complete game.
@@RJN8580best way to defend Otis Nixon is to win the game
@@jude999 Well you don’t know baseball ⚾️ very well
When you retaliate you have to do it to the next hitter, and unfortunately it was Murphy. Glavine (and the Braves) did the classiest thing ever, by making the point but not trying to hurt the player.
I think Glavine was a tad "classier" than Bobby Cox about the situation.
In his autobiography, Glavine said this was a gut-wrenching situation. He had to protect his teammate-Otis Nixon, who had been beaned in the top of the inning-but to have to do it against a man he greatly respected put him in a no-win situation. He also said Nixon was furious with him for the soft-tosses.
I don't know why Nixon was mad at Glavine, Nixon shouldn't have stolen those bases while they were in the lead
Ya how dare Nixon try and help his team score more points to insure a win? I mean its not like thats the object of the game or anything...
Aaron Walker I don't see why Nixon was angry either, but I'm sorry he should steal as many bases as he can to help his team win. If the phillies promised the braves they wouldn't try and score any more then Atlanta can stop trying. But since that wasn't the case, they should score as many runs as possible
Obviously Christian, you don't understand baseball and the traditions behind it. Of course, when you said "score more points" instead of score more RUNS, I knew I was dealing with a novice. What happened in that game was a tradition EXCEPT it had to be between two of the classiest players in the game. Glavine could have tried to knock his head off if he had wanted to. Murphy could have charged the mound as so many idiots do nowadays. Both went through the tradition, no complaints, a couple of 50 mph change ups, Murph goes to first base, Glavine goes to the showers. The Commissioner doesn't have to fine and/or suspend anyone and, when the two teams meet next time, it's all in the past.
Christian Denton - Thanks for the lecture, Mr. Helper.... More "points" is a helluva lot better than more runs..
Dale Murphy is my fav. player of all-time. Glavine was all class on that called-hit. He threw nothing but slow change-ups, lol. Murph was never in any danger.
Great video, some of the greatest Braves of all time. Cannot recall any other time Glavine was ejected.
I remember seeing this live on the Phillies broadcast. Dale was a great clubhouse guy for the Braves, and revered by them. Bobby Cox apparently gave the order to throw at Dale. I don't think Glavine or the Braves wanted any part of it. So, Glavine threw slow pitches, and I wouldn't be surprised if the catcher gave Dale a heads up. The Phillies broadcaster (I think Richie Ashburn) said, "that's like throwing at Santa Claus"
wel Dale knew that he was first and due to get hit. Later on he jokingly got mad at Tom for weakly throwing at him
Philly fans know all about throwing at Santa Claus.
@@Ihaveaglitch Christ you're such a stereotype.
I'd change "great clubhouse guy" (which he most certainly was) to "Braves legend".....that's a better descriptor for Murph
I never knew that. I didn’t know that Philly had that much respect for him. I figured they probably thought he was a bum like everybody else that doesn’t win an MVP award for them. It’s just another great example of what a class act he was that even in Philly he was revered.
I remember this, Glavine "threw" at Murph with off-speed stuff, had no choice, Murph knew it too, he almost grinned and bailed during his windup on the last 2 pitches. Its the unwritten rule in baseball and they know it.
To explain this video on CZcams watch Dale Murphy give you the play by play of what brought this all about. What class this guy has
Glavine should have argued his ejection. "Whaddaya mean I'm 'throwing at the batter'?! Didn't you see me trying NOT to hit him?!!"
Had Murphy not stepped out of the box on that last pitch, he would have been hit. Glavine did what he was told, in a great way, so as to not hurt Murphy. Had that batter been anyone else, he would have been drilled with a fastball, first pitch.
Both guys knew what was going on, so Glavine by the 4th ball knew Murphy was going to move out of the way
Just like Glavine had to throw at the next batter, the ump had to throw him out. It's not like the ump didnt know what was going on.
You can handle that
@@brentskipper22 yep
You can see after pitch #2, the ump had his hands on his hips and was glaring at Tom...like..."really? you're gonna throw those at your ex-teammate? and Braves legend?" Ump just let the string play out....Tom was gonna get tossed whether he did end up hitting Murph or what actually happened, happened (walk)

@@jannecechmanek You would think that if a pitcher threw 129 pitches in a game today his arm will fall off. Baseball has NOT gotten better over the years.
@@kristopherloviska9042 If a pitcher threw in the high 90's instead of the high 80's. Yeah 129 pitches is bad. Johan Santana ended his career like that.
My pops was a Dale Murphy fan and made me a braves fan for life
Two of my favorite Braves players
Looked up the boxscore of the game and Phillies pitcher Roger McDowell was also ejected for a HBP in the top half. It was bottom 9 and Braves were up 9-2 so I guess Glavine may have been getting replaced anyway so Cox got him to do the dirty work before he left. This was the only time Glavine was ever ejected from an MLB game.
+Jordan Davidson I dont get it still. Sorry not a baseball follower. So they were winning and they did it just to make a statement?
DewtonBrothers Sort of. It was probably retaliation for a Braves batter that was hit in the last half-inning. Doesn't really have anything to do with them winning, just that it was a one-sided score and Glavine had thrown 8 innings and was probably close to coming out anyway.
+Jordan Davidson the start of it all happened the previous week in Atlanta. The Braves were up against the Phillies in the last game of the series and Otis Nixon kept stealing on them. Phillies pitcher Wally Ritchie hit Nixon finally and Nixon charged the mound. being the asshat he was, Nixon karate kicked Ritchie and ended up spiking him and tore a big hole in Ritchie's jersey and undershirt. the Phillies didn't forget but McDowell was the only guy who got close to Nixon. There's a video here with Murphy where he explains the whole incident.
+Kevin Moore for those interested it's titled -
MLB: Braves' legend Dale Murphy on the Hit By Pitches Controversy
+Jordan - great context, thank you. Makes sense that McDowell hit Nixon in the 9th and Bobby Cox ordered Glavine to hit Murphy in the next half inning to send a message back. Imagine Glavine is just 25 years old, but has the presence of mind to just throw inside, and then a little more inside to give his friend Murphy enough heads up that he's been told to hit him. The last pitch was changeup too, nothing that would hurt much - but Murphy got the message and stepped away. Glavine is a class act. Also, he earned his 11th win that year with this game - 11 wins by June! Don't see that much anymore. Not to mention he was working on a complete game with 12ks - pretty lame for Cox to squander Glavine's shot a CG by sending him out to there to get thrown out.
Holy crap I don't remember things looking this shitty in 1991...
They didn't then...But ancient recordings from that era were not digital and they deteriorated.
480P but analog.
Hell, watching a non HD game on my MLB extra innings feels like I'm watching an old game because of the lack of HD...huge difference
Things actually looked kind of cool in the 70's then went to the boring 80's and then only got more boring. HD kind of ruins it for me especially if you are trying to get AWAY from all the noise and distractions.
Ironically, the Atlanta Braves were doing this to Dale Murphy, who had such great seasons for them.
yeah, you can tell Glavine really didn't really wanna' throw at his boy. it's a rather touchy situation...
Murphy was all class, as was Glavine. Both handled this perfectly.
Don't know the specifics of this game. Always respected Murphy and Glavine, but without a doubt a weak attempt by Glavine to hit Murphy which shows it wasn't in him to do so. As the announcer made reference to - wonder what Cox's "order" was. In a sense it shows to me anyway what type of a player Glavine was - he'll listen to the "old school" manager out of respect, but he'll do it his way. Two great Braves players I had the pleasure of watching as a Mets fan!
The Phillies and Braves had some bad blood over Otis Nixon repeatedly getting hit for stealing bases in lop-sided games. In this game, Nixon had been hit again in the 8th inning and, as Glavine says, Bobby ordered "whoever was up in the 9th" to get hit. Glavine said, "Murph's leading off in the 9th. I can't hit Murph." Bobby said, "I don't give a damn who it is. Hit him."
Respect for players can always cross team boundaries. I'm a Philly fan. But, I always wanted for us to get David Wright. He plays the game the right way. I also feel the same way about Chase Utley. But, I suspect you might disagree with me there. Either way, Best wishes, Ted
Thanks for the background. There's something "old school" about Cox's order though that I have to respect and like even if it was an ex Brave legend that might possibly be the victim of a Glavine intentional hit by pitch. Shit wouldn't happen into today's PC culture and game. Love it.
@@theolamp5312 man how I wanted the braves to get worth or Utley because they killed the braves in the late 2000,s
@@jamieanderson6222 Dale later told Glav, that if that should ever come up again to just bean him in the back, he knew the unwritten rules too
Classy move by Glavine. Ive always admired this guy. Sure it is the unwritten rule, an eye for an eye but look who is up at bat.
Announcers called this right. Bobby Cox is large and in charge, ordering Glavine to throw at his former teammate, mentor and friend Dale Murphy. This was more of an intentional miss than actually trying to hit Murph.
I'm just amazed at how much faster the game was moving.
Definitely a manager's order. Glavine didn't even argue with the injection.
Adam Moreira Yeah, man. Glavine made a beeline for the dugout, like he knew the ejection was coming. No emotion, whatsover.

@MLB Dale Murphy deserves to be in your Hall of Fame... make it right.
I am a life long Braves fan. But Bobby Cox telling Glavine to hit Murph was a pure amuck move and the look on his face proves he knew it was a smuck thing to do. Never understood this, and please don’t try to give me some baseball jargon about unwritten rules. Murph was pure class.
I love how Glavine just took the ejection in stride......Class act on both sides, regarding those BS Unwritten Rules
Ahhh yes standing up for your teammates.....such a BS rule there....
@@danimal097521by taking it out on someone else….that’s what makes it BS. Hit the pitcher!! Lol
I grew up watching the Braves and remember this. Glavine did what he had to do and he did it respectfully and Murphy understood that. Glavine wasn’t going to hit Murphy because he didn’t need to, to prove his point. Watch Murphy on the last throw, he knew it was coming and he was already moving out of the way. Glavine has 12 SO in this game, he was in complete control of his pitches.
A Los Bravos de los 90tas y a los Bravos de hoy simplemente los amo.
blast from the past
Class act on the part of both Glavine and Murphy !
Hats off to Murphy for keeping his cool. Today’s players would have charged the mound after the second pitch.
Well those were the calmest ejections ever .
Dale Murphy great plarer all time...beatiful man!!!
Murphy and glavine two classy guys
I've never seen anyone throw beanballs like that. Those were 60-70mph, and he threw them real quickly like he wasnt thinking about it at all. It definitely wasn't his idea. The umpire didn't even believe they were beanballs, he let him throw 4!!!! Finally he had to chuck the last one into the on deck circle to get the point across.
+MrGjf22 60-70 is generous. I say more like 50
...And it was the one least likely to actually hit Murphy. As the at-bat continued, the pitches got closer and closer, and softer and softer. Had Murph not backed away, that last pitch might have tickled him.
I wish i was old enough to remember this and the early 90s
Two Braves legends
Just watched Tom
Last nite say he cried his eyes out after this. Dale took Tom under his wing when he got to Atlanta. He asked to hit the next guy they said no. Has to be the first hitter. Loved both Dale and Tom. I never missed a game till I moved to the west coast.
2:35 "Glavine gives up 4 hits, 2 unearned runs, and the runner at 1st belongs to him..."
The catcher was talking to him the whole way. It wasn’t Glavins decision
Dale Murphy on TBS with the Atlanta Braves was my childhood favorite besides Grace and Dawson on WGN with the Cubs. Man, I’m getting old.
I remember TBS for Braves games and every Saturday NWA wrestling. Whoooo!
The really classy thing was after the game. Reporters were trying to get Glavine to comment and he calmly said "I don't want to talk about it." Meanwhile, Murphy was saying he knew Glavine had to respond and it was just one of those unwritten things in baseball. Lots of class between those two.
everyone trying to explain fails to mention Dale Murphy was the most beloved Brave of all time.
Nope Dales numbe 2 Hank Aaron is number.1/Just stating facts.GO BRAVOS!!!!!!
If by “Dale Murphy” you mean “Hank Aaron,” then yes, Dale Murphy was the most beloved Brave of all time.
The good ol days when players wore uniforms that actually fit them.
And still wore hats with bills long enough to actually keep the sun out of their eyes.
Absolutely. The black rappers started the baggy clothes trend.
Hahaha that shit was funny tho
Charles Michael Rinehart you actually bait people on CZcams to insult you and make a blog out of it😂😂😂
Maybe a little on the tight side but whatever lol
I loved baseball so much.
kindest, gentlest message ever LOL
Just the way Glavine kicked the dirt in front of the rubber after each pitch shows how pissed he was he had to do it.
Glavine did his job. He was throwing changeups, and didn't get within a foot of Murph.
I remember watching this live. Still makes me laugh today.
Glavine had a chance at a club record for strikeouts. he needed 2 to tie and 3 to break it. so something fun to be a part of got all messed up for something stupid. shame
Absolutely the wrong player to try to hit for the Braves. They should have walked Murph and hit the batter on deck.
According to Murphy's telling of the story, Bobby ordered whoever was leading off in the 9th to get hit after Otis Nixon got hit again by the Phillies in the 8th. Murphy said that Glavine protested, saying, "Bobby, it's Murph. We can't hit Murph." Supposedly, Bobby was so angry he didn't care and said, "I don't give a damn who it is. We're hitting him."
Good point
ted turner never should have traded Murphy.....
Au contraire. I loved Murphy as much as anyone. But that trade opened up right field for David Justice and the 1991 crew was something we'll never forget.
Dale Murphy is still my favorite baseball player of all time. He was the reason why I wanted to play Baseball. I just remember some of my friends talk about him. I bet he just laugh about it
Dale Murphy and Ryne Sandberg are like the same - two great 80s players that were so nice, that folks had a tough time fucking with them....
Sandberg sure changed as a manager. I think his teams led their leagues in bench clearing brawls each of his first three or four years as minor league manager. Lots of headhunting by his teams.
Memories!
The home plate umpire for the game at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was (#31/NL/Bob Davidson)
Markcus Hines Thank you. I had been wondering if that was in fact Balkin’ Bob.
I gotta believe the catcher was saying, "Four inside, Dale."
Glavine had pinpoint accuracy. He could have hit Dale's left nut if he really wanted to. Murphy was a class act. Super religious guy. Growing up a Cards fan in the '80s I kinda didn't like him simply because my dad said that he said he would never play for a team owned by an alcohol or tobacco company. So I assumed he would never be a Cardinal. Or play on my dad's softball team which was sponsored by Vodka and Kools.
Ok, I'm sure you will find a "biographer" someday who actually gives a sh*t what you are talking about....maybe??
That was uncalled for
He is a right handed hitter so the left nut is easy, now try hitting his RIGHT nut and I’ll be impressed
Vodkas and Kools ahahahahaha xD
Wow just legends
That's the most respectful HBP I've ever seen.
Wow Tommy wanted bo part of that. He threw him change ups down and in.
If Glavine wanted to bean the batter, he could have so easily.
If it was anyone else, he would have. But this was Dale Murphy. It would have been like hitting your father.
Yes, I agree. I think Bobby Cox gave the order for Glavine to hit Murphy, and Glavine was very reluctant to do it. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place, so he formulated a plan to throw near Murphy, but not try to actually hit him. You could tell by his body language afterwards that he was totally disgusted with himself over the whole ordeal.
Music Oldies Yes. I agree.
Glavine is on record saying he didn't want to do it but was doing what he was told hence the slow pitches
TheErrorGrammatical Yeah, it looks like his heart wasn’t in it.
For people who argue Murph trailed off near the end of his career, how about Hall enshrinement for playing with class?
What season was that?? A lot of respect 🙏.. anybody knows what season was it??
ALGUIEN sabe en qué año sucedió eso.? Que temporada?
Those old Phillies uniforms are just neat!
Glavin was classy there. Did what he had to do. Not throwing at anyone's head or anything
One of the nicest ones ever.
Glavine being given that assignment was such a weird moment. He had to, he did it, but he didn’t want to.
"that will never happen folks"
"that never happen" or is he? at least these announcers can be honest and admit they were wrong.
I know at first the "That'll never happen" Might sound like they were being biased and trying to make Glavine sound innocent. But it wasn't. I would have said the same thing. Glavine never threw at anyone, and Murphy was an old friend who nobody had anything bad to say about. That first pitch would appear to someone who knew the situation to be just an innocent slip out of the hand, but then the second one made it obvious what was going on and everyone in the park could feel their hearts sink.
compare to the rest of announcers world wide now i have respect for announcers admitting there wrong now not all mlb annoucers are dicks majority are
Pete Van Wieren and Don Sutton I believe were the TBS announcers in this shot.
I never knew Dale Murphy went to the Phillies. I remembered him as an Atlanta Brave.
Dale Murphy was well-liked by everyone. I heard one story (not sure if it's true, but it wouldn't surprise me) where the Braves got into a fight with another team on the field. Murphy took an accidental elbow from someone in the melee. Afterward, players from the opposing team were going up to Murphy to make sure he was OK.
