Dale Murphy was chosen in the first round of the 1974 Major League Draft by the Atlanta Braves. Drafted straight out of high school, Dale spent four years in the minor leagues before playing out a long and successful career with the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Philles, and Colorado Rockies. He won back-to-back National League MVP awards in 1982 and 1983, and ended his career with 398 homeruns. Dale was one of the most beloved athletes to ever play in Atlanta. His number (#3) was retired by the Atlanta Braves and now hangs in Turner Field. Known as one of the true gentlemen of the game, Dale continues to lead by example, supportning numerous worthwhile charities. He travels the country speaking on behalf of his foundation--"I Won't Cheat"-- educating kids about the dangers of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. In 1987, Dale was named by Sports Illustrated as one of the "Sportsmen and Sportswomen of the Year," representing major league baseball as the athlete "Who Cares the Most"
and was honored as such by President Ronald Regan at the White House.

Dale is a sought-after motivational speaker and now divides his time between charity work,
church work, and his family. He and his wife, Nancy, are the parents of eight children
(seven sons and one daughter), and grandparents to two adorable little boys!
