Daniel Francis Murphy (August 11, 1876 – November 22, 1955) was an American second baseman and outfielder in Major League Baseball from 1900 to 1915. He managed the Jersey City Skeeters in 1919.

Biography

Murphy spent most of his career with the Philadelphia Athletics and moved from second base to outfielder in 1910 to make room for the Athletics' new second baseman Eddie Collins.[1] During the Athletics 1913 World Championship season, Murphy's playing time was limited by a broken knee cap; as a result, he did not play in the World Series, but served as the team's acting captain.[1]

In 1,496 games, Murphy batted .289 (1563-5399) with 705 runs scored, 289 doubles, 102 triples, 44 home runs, 702 RBI, 193 stolen bases,, an on-base percentage of .336 and a slugging percentage of .405 in 16 seasons. In 16 World Series games, he hit .305 (18-59) with one home run and 12 RBI.
