June 6, 1992 – Eddie Murray, the first baseman of the New York Mets knocked home his 1,510th RBI. This is a milestone as that run that was batted in allowed the veteran Murray to pass the legendary Mickey Mantle as an all-time RBI leader among MLB switch-hitters. The Mets didn’t waste Eddie’s efforts either as they throttled the Pittsburgh Pirates 15-1 in the contest.
Murray still stands as the RBI leader of batters that used both sides of the plate with 1917 career RBIs but is now followed by Chipper Jones who had 1623 and Carlos Betran with 1527. Mickey Mantle’s 1509 RBIs are now the fourth-best all-time.
