For whatever it's worth, Murray's career record against the Yankees isn't that incredible.
In 192 games, he hit .270 with 28 HRs and 100 RBIs. In Yankee Stadium, over 100 games, his numbers are .269, with 14 HRs and 49 RBIs.
Still, a truly great first-baseman who terrorized us whenever coming to bat. Bill James calculated him to be the fifth best 1B of all time. Sporting News called him 77th on the top 100 of all-time.
What if? The Orioles drafted Murray in the third round of the 1973 draft. The Yankees first round pick that year was pitcher Doug Heinold. They selected SS Mike Heath in the second round and pitcher Howard Shoff in the third.
Finally: His 19 grand slams rank fourth all time. (The leader is A-Rod with 25.)

So, the point of voting for a guy for the all-opponents' team who didn't do that well against the Yanks is...?
And hey, was that Mike Heath drafted as a shortstop the same Mike Heath who became a catcher?
How was the list derived? It didn't have any of our true nemesis's on it.
So, I am missing the point.
Whichmay be a first.
