On September 6, 1996, Eddie Murray hit his 500th career home
run—fittingly, the home run came as a member of the Orioles, and also
came exactly one year to the day that Ripken had broken Lou Gehrig's
streak of 2,130 consecutive games played. He retired after the 1997
season with 504 home runs; Mickey Mantle is the only switch-hitter who
has hit more home runs.
This blonde Rawlings Big Stick bat has been signed in blue by Eddie
