"It's been four and half years since Bobby Murcer's been seen roaming the outfield in Yankee pinstripes, but now he's back! During the interim he played in the National League with the Giants and the Cubs, but now the Oklahoma City native is here where he belongs ... and the great fan reaction proves that point!
This 5'11", 180-pounder with the infectious smile called his move back to the Big Apple 'tremendous' and it made him 'the happiest I've ever been.' One of baseball's steadiest performers, Bobby can always be counted on to hit around .280 and be among the club's top run producers. As a five-time run producer, he may be just the man to fuel the Yankee drive for another American League Eastern Division title. Who knows? This handsome Yankee may be the catalyst to another World Championship."
