The look of shame and disgust, as he was walking to the dugout, on his face says everything about what Dale Murphy meant to the entire Braves universe, from the fans all the way up to the players and coaches.

The best display of sportsmanship I've ever seen.

I grew up in Boston and watched Braves baseball as a kid on TBS. Dale Murphy used to be my favorite player. For a 3 year stretch he was maybe the best all around hitter in the national league. Gwynn was a singles hitter but only Murphy and Schmitt hit for that kind of avg and power at that time. Bonds wasnt there yet. As a kid i remember watching him come up to hit and it seemed automatic he was going to either homer or rip a double down the line. Most underrated ballplayer of all time and a damn shame hes not in the HOF.

By no means was it a masterclass. The order to hit Murphy should have never been given. The order to hit Murphy should have never been enacted by Glavine, although I admit he did it half heartedly.

I just met Dale Murphy at the Braves/Blue Jays game last Weds nite. What a class act. He came up into our corporate suite and schmoozed everyone. Such a warm, friendly guy. He signed baseballs for us, took pics, etc. He made it seem like he wanted to be there, and spend time with complete strangers. He's as talented with people skills as he is with baseball skills. The Braves had a 6-run flurry in the inning he was visiting us, and he looked out longingly at the field and told me... "I miss it. I miss being young." I spoke to him for about 10 minutes about the new restaurant he's opening up at the Cobb Galleria, just over the pedestrian bridge from the new SunTrust Park. Burgers, Beer and Wings. It's called Murph's. After seeing him in his prime on TV for so many years, he still looks great... tall and trim, full head of gray hair. Still has that twinkle in his eye. Quintessential Atlanta Brave legend.

This looks like the series that got me hooked on Braves baseball for a while. I watched TBS a lot as a kid but never cared about baseball. Once, before I changed the channel from the game, it was Braves vs Phillies and Dale Murphy had just hit a home run. I remember the announcers saying that the Braves fans liked to see him hit those long homers, but they hated to see him do it against the Braves. I soon found out that they were having a miracle season, and I was hooked. The rest of the season was a nail-biter as they beat the Dodgers. Then a nail-biting 7 game NLCS with the Pirates. Then one of the most tense, sweating, edge of the seat series ever...only to lose to the Twins. Broke my heart. I just knew they had to win it, after all that. Still can't stand the Twins to this day!

He never had intention of hitting Murphy. He did what he had to, Murphy knew it was coming and he stepped out of the way before the ball even got there. It actually got to Glavine that he had to do this.

There's a video on here that has Dale Murphy talking about the hit by pitch and the history behind it all. It goes all the way back to the last time the Phillies and the Braves met up in ATL. Glavine didn't want to hit Murphy, but Bobby Cox told him to because they hit Otis Nixon twice for stealing bases while the Braves were already leading. There's not any disrespect towards Glavine, Murphy, or Cox. That's just how the game was back then.

I remember this, Glavine "threw" at Murph with off-speed stuff, had no choice, Murph knew it too, he almost grinned and bailed during his windup on the last 2 pitches. Its the unwritten rule in baseball and they know it.

When you retaliate you have to do it to the next hitter, and unfortunately it was Murphy. Glavine (and the Braves) did the classiest thing ever, by making the point but not trying to hurt the player.

Bobby said, "I don't give a damn who it is. Hit him."

Aaron Walker I don't see why Nixon was angry either, but I'm sorry he should steal as many bases as he can to help his team win. If the phillies promised the braves they wouldn't try and score any more then Atlanta can stop trying. But since that wasn't the case, they should score as many runs as possible

Obviously Christian, you don't understand baseball and the traditions behind it. Of course, when you said "score more points" instead of score more RUNS, I knew I was dealing with a novice. What happened in that game was a tradition EXCEPT it had to be between two of the classiest players in the game. Glavine could have tried to knock his head off if he had wanted to. Murphy could have charged the mound as so many idiots do nowadays. Both went through the tradition, no complaints, a couple of 50 mph change ups, Murph goes to first base, Glavine goes to the showers. The Commissioner doesn't have to fine and/or suspend anyone and, when the two teams meet next time, it's all in the past.

I grew up watching the Braves and remember this. Glavine did what he had to do and he did it respectfully and Murphy understood that. Glavine wasn’t going to hit Murphy because he didn’t need to, to prove his point. Watch Murphy on the last throw, he knew it was coming and he was already moving out of the way. Glavine has 12 SO in this game, he was in complete control of his pitches.

Looked up the boxscore of the game and Phillies pitcher Roger McDowell was also ejected for a HBP in the top half. It was bottom 9 and Braves were up 9-2 so I guess Glavine may have been getting replaced anyway so Cox got him to do the dirty work before he left. This was the only time Glavine was ever ejected from an MLB game.

DewtonBrothers Sort of. It was probably retaliation for a Braves batter that was hit in the last half-inning. Doesn't really have anything to do with them winning, just that it was a one-sided score and Glavine had thrown 8 innings and was probably close to coming out anyway.

+Jordan Davidson the start of it all happened the previous week in Atlanta. The Braves were up against the Phillies in the last game of the series and Otis Nixon kept stealing on them. Phillies pitcher Wally Ritchie hit Nixon finally and Nixon charged the mound. being the asshat he was, Nixon karate kicked Ritchie and ended up spiking him and tore a big hole in Ritchie's jersey and undershirt. the Phillies didn't forget but McDowell was the only guy who got close to Nixon. There's a video here with Murphy where he explains the whole incident.

+Jordan - great context, thank you. Makes sense that McDowell hit Nixon in the 9th and Bobby Cox ordered Glavine to hit Murphy in the next half inning to send a message back. Imagine Glavine is just 25 years old, but has the presence of mind to just throw inside, and then a little more inside to give his friend Murphy enough heads up that he's been told to hit him. The last pitch was changeup too, nothing that would hurt much - but Murphy got the message and stepped away. Glavine is a class act. Also, he earned his 11th win that year with this game - 11 wins by June! Don't see that much anymore. Not to mention he was working on a complete game with 12ks - pretty lame for Cox to squander Glavine's shot a CG by sending him out to there to get thrown out.

Well those were the calmest ejections ever .

Hats off to Murphy for keeping his cool. Today’s players would have charged the mound after the second pitch.

I am a life long Braves fan. But Bobby Cox telling Glavine to hit Murph was a pure amuck move and the look on his face proves he knew it was a smuck thing to do. Never understood this, and please don’t try to give me some baseball jargon about unwritten rules. Murph was pure class.

The really classy thing was after the game. Reporters were trying to get Glavine to comment and he calmly said "I don't want to talk about it." Meanwhile, Murphy was saying he knew Glavine had to respond and it was just one of those unwritten things in baseball. Lots of class between those two.

Murphy and glavine two classy guys

Class act on the part of both Glavine and Murphy !

Two of my favorite Braves players

kindest, gentlest message ever LOL

2:35 "Glavine gives up 4 hits, 2 unearned runs, and the runner at 1st belongs to him..."

The catcher was talking to him the whole way. It wasn’t Glavins decision

Just watched Tom Last nite say he cried his eyes out after this. Dale took Tom under his wing when he got to Atlanta. He asked to hit the next guy they said no. Has to be the first hitter. Loved both Dale and Tom. I never missed a game till I moved to the west coast.

Two Braves legends

I've never seen anyone throw beanballs like that. Those were 60-70mph, and he threw them real quickly like he wasnt thinking about it at all. It definitely wasn't his idea. The umpire didn't even believe they were beanballs, he let him throw 4!!!! Finally he had to chuck the last one into the on deck circle to get the point across.

According to Murphy's telling of the story, Bobby ordered whoever was leading off in the 9th to get hit after Otis Nixon got hit again by the Phillies in the 8th. Murphy said that Glavine protested, saying, "Bobby, it's Murph. We can't hit Murph." Supposedly, Bobby was so angry he didn't care and said, "I don't give a damn who it is. We're hitting him."

Wow Tommy wanted bo part of that. He threw him change ups down and in.

Glavine had a chance at a club record for strikeouts. he needed 2 to tie and 3 to break it. so something fun to be a part of got all messed up for something stupid. shame

That's the most respectful HBP I've ever seen.

Just the way Glavine kicked the dirt in front of the rubber after each pitch shows how pissed he was he had to do it.

I never knew Dale Murphy went to the Phillies. I remembered him as an Atlanta Brave.

Glavine had pinpoint accuracy. He could have hit Dale's left nut if he really wanted to. Murphy was a class act. Super religious guy. Growing up a Cards fan in the '80s I kinda didn't like him simply because my dad said that he said he would never play for a team owned by an alcohol or tobacco company. So I assumed he would never be a Cardinal. Or play on my dad's softball team which was sponsored by Vodka and Kools.

I love how after the second and third pitch you can just tell by the ump's body language that he's being all "are you seriously doing this right now?"

This is a classic case of a video not being what you think it is when you click on it... Glavine obviously wasn't happy about being ordered to do that, he was just lobbing those pitches in there.

I gotta believe the catcher was saying, "Four inside, Dale."

Those old Phillies uniforms are just neat!

That's his boy. You can tell that he really didn't wanna' hit him...

Tom was on the verge of (at least tieing) a Braves record... it is indisputably obvious he is not happy with what his orders were, but carried them out with masterpiece class.
