[edit] Biographical Information
Rich Murray played most of his major league games for the 1980 San Francisco Giants as a 22-year-old first baseman. Willie McCovey was 42 years old at the time, and in his last season. Mike Ivie ended up playing the most at first base that season.
He went to Locke High School and spent nine years in the Giants organization. A broken hand hurt his chances of winning a permanent major league job. After his playing days he was a minor league coach and also has been on the coaching staff of Dusty Baker's baseball school.
