Murray was a two-sport athlete at Oklahoma, playing football and baseball. His raw athletic ability earned him to be in the top five in both the NFL and MLB drafts. The decision was obvious for Murray, but his love for baseball remains, getting to highlight that in his charity softball game while doing it for a great cause.
The gates will open at 3:30 p.m., with general admission tickets starting at $28.69 or free for ages two and under. The event will have a kids zone and a raffle for fans who bring in two canned goods to earn prizes like signed Murray gear and free Whataburger for a year.
