TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
EDDIE MURRAY
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man whose work ethic got him out of the ghetto and into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Eddie Murray was known as one of the most tireless workers on his childhood teams, and that degree of commitment is largely responsible for not just getting him into the big leagues, but making him one of the greatest players to ever pick up a baseball bat.
Murray was renowned for his consistency, hence the nickname “Steady Eddie.” He was an eight-time All-Star, won the World Series (1983), won three Gold Gloves, three Silver Sluggers, and had his jersey retired by the Baltimore Orioles.
He played 21 seasons in the majors, totaling 3,026 games, 3,255 hits, 1,917 RBIs and 504 home runs. His home run total is the second most ever by a switch hitter, second only to the legendary Mickey Mantle.
To this day, Murray remains active as a community ambassador and charity activist. His Hall of Fame induction speech was geared more toward inspiring youth baseball players than celebrating his own greatness, and his activities since his retirement have included the release of a wine (Eddie Murray 504 Cabernet) to raise proceeds for the Baltimore Community Foundation.
