"Steady" Eddie Murray

This smooth operatin' switch hitter was known as much for his cat-like precision from both sides of the plate as he was for his well-groomed afro-puff that went ka-pow! out of his hat. He aslo had a mastery of the pointy sideburns straight to moustache look, that is no easy feat.
