Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Joseph Ambrose Murray (November 11, 1920 - October 19, 2001) was a pitcher who played in Major League Baseball during the 1950 season. Listed at 6' 0," 165 lb., Murray batted and threw left handed. He was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. At age 29, it had been a long journey to the major leagues for Joe Murray. The southpaw hurler debuted in 1940 with Class-D Easton, a Eastern Shore League affiliate team of the New York Yankees. He would spend his next three seasons with three different clubs, compiling a 35-25 record and a 3.70 earned run average in four full seasons, but his baseball career was interrupted in 1943 after he entered service in the United States Navy during World War II.
