June 26, 1979, the New York Yankees re-acquire outfielder Bobby Murcer from the Chicago Cubs for minor league pitcher Paul Semall. The 33-year-old outfielder batted .258 in a part-time role for Chicago. The Yankees had traded the former All-Star and fan favorite to the San Francisco Giants after the 1974 season. Murcer will once again thrive in Yankee Stadium, hitting .273 with eight home runs.
