There are 33 members of the 500 Home Run Club, and there are 28 members of the 3,000 Hit Club. A Venn diagram of the two clubs reveals just seven immortals in the overlap area, with both 500+ homers and 3,000+ hits on their resumes. Eddie Murray is one of the seven on this short list, along with Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Miguel Cabrera, and Rafael Palmeiro. In the eyes of purists, the short list should be narrowed down to five, as a couple of these maximum output sluggers are tainted by the stench of PED use. As he did so many times during his consistently productive career, "Steady Eddie" rocks the house with this signed and inscribed baseball. Showing moderate toning, this game-used OAL/Budig ball is single-signed by Murray on the sweet spot with a ("7") degree of strength. Murray has included the inscription "2993" in recognition of his career hit number reached on 6/26/95 during a game that saw this particular ball put into play, while Murray's Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Royals 2-0.
