Bobby Ray Murcer was a beloved figure in New York Yankees history, serving as a prominent outfielder in the 1960s and 70s, and later becoming a cherished broadcaster for the team for decades.
Murcer spent the majority of his 17-season career with the Yankees, who signed him as a bonus baby directly out of high school. Hailing from Oklahoma, just like his idol Mickey Mantle, and possessing a powerful left-handed swing, Murcer carried the heavy expectation of replacing the retiring Mantle in center field for the Yankees in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Murcer’s best years came in the early 1970s, when he was one of the American League’s top offensive players. In 1971, he led the American League in on-base percentage and finished in the top five in batting average (.331), home runs (25), and RBIs (94). In 1972, he set career highs with 33 home runs and 96 RBIs, leading the AL in runs scored (102) and total bases (315). He also won his only Gold Glove Award that season for his play in center field. He was a five-time All-Star (1971-1975), four times representing the Yankees in the AL and once for the Giants in the NL.
Murcer was famously traded from the Yankees to the Giants for Bobby Bonds after the 1974 season. He continued to be a productive hitter for both the Giants and Cubs before eventually returning to the Yankees. Murcer returned to the Yankees during the 1979 season. He was part of the 1981 Yankees team that reached the World Series, losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
After retiring as a player in 1983, Bobby Murcer almost immediately transitioned into the broadcast booth for the New York Yankees, a role he held for most of the next two decades on both television (WPIX, WNYW, YES Network) and radio. He won three Emmy Awards for live sports coverage.
Beyond broadcasting, Murcer also held various roles within the Yankees organization, including assistant general manager and hitting coach. He was a regular at Yankees Old-Timers’ Day games. He was also an anti-tobacco activist in the latter part of his life.
