}}Morgan Edward Murphy (February 14, 1867 – October 3, 1938) was an American Major League Baseball player who played 11 seasons as a catcher, most notably with the two time league champions Boston Reds.[1] Sign stealingMurphy is mostly known today for his complicated, but innovative signs stealing techniques. When he was playing for the Philadelphia Phillies in {{Baseball year|1898}}, he is credited as the inventor of a scheme where he positioned himself, along with a pair of field glasses, behind a whiskey advertisement on the outfield wall. There was a specific letter "O" that he would open or close to signal to the batter what pitch was going to be delivered.[2] Later, in {{Baseball year|1900}}, he devised another scheme where he was still placed behind the outfield wall, but instead would relay the catcher's signs by wire to a buzzer box inside the third base coach's box. The third base coach would then signal to the batter the sign.[2][3] This latest scheme was discovered, however, when Tommy Corcoran of the Cincinnati Reds, tripped over he thought to be a vine coming out from under the ground, as he was rounding third base. Upon further inspection, the vine turned out to be a telegraph wire, and he proceeded to pull up out of the ground until it reach the spot where Murphy relayed his signals.[4] Post-careerMurphy died at the age of 71 in Providence, Rhode Island, and is interred at St. Francis Cemetery in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/M/Pmurpm101.htm|title=Morgan Murphy's career statistics|publisher=retrosheet.org|accessdate=2008-09-09}} 2. ^1 {{cite book|last=Stout|first=Glenn|author2=Richard A.
