and the topps back:

steady eddie put up numbers for the mets in '92 that were pretty close to his 1991 stats.  he hit 16 homers, drove in 93 runs, and hit .261.  he outperformed fellow first-year met bobby bonilla at any rate, and at 2/3 the cost!  murray's first home run as a met was a walk-off job against the cardinals, and his second home run for new york was the 400th of his career.

now the o-pee-chee back:

and the topps back:

murray played for three years in his first tenure in la, bridging the gap between franklin stubbs and eric karros at first base. his second year with the dodgers was his best, as he hit .330 to lead the majors in batting average. strangely, he failed to win a batting title, as willie mcgee's nl average was .335 (but his overall average was just .324 thanks to a poor stint in the al to finish the year).
