Will never forget the lineup with Murphy, Horner, Chambliss. Staying up late when they were out on the West coast. Skip Carry and Ernie Johnson were my favorite to listen to.

That group they had in 82-84 was talented, but it had kind of a short shelf life due to it being veteran guys who later struggled with injuries or declining play or they retired (Niekro, Horner, Chambliss).

My grandfather's favorite Brave. RIP


Dale Murphy was my grandfather's favorite but I watched many a Braves game with him because they were his favorite team because he could watch them for free on TBS so I got lots of Murphy & Horner summers up at Canyon Lake.

RIP he was a fun player to watch

I know a lot of people have said they were watching his 4 homer game live, I’m pretty sure it aired tape delayed due to the Goodwill Games, another Turner idea.

I am not saying this is what he died from by ANY means, but as a 61 year old that was a ball boy for a hs football team for 4 years as a kid in the early 72-75 I got to be friends with a lot of folks(including cheer leaders from that era that that are now 66-72 years old. A large number of them were big time coke heads(well into their 40s) and MANY of those have suffered debilitating health related issues once they hit late 50s - despite most living fairly healthy lives: non smokers, light drinkers and most exercising.

Heart attacks, strokes, unreal BP issues and the like.
