John Joseph "Red" Murray (March 4, 1884 – December 4, 1958) was an American outfielder in Major League Baseball.

Murray, playing in the outfield for the New York Giants, caught a fly ball which would prove to be the final out of a 21 inning game on July 17, 1914.

With two on and two out in the eighth and mound master Christy Mathewson on the hill, Pirates second baseman Dots Miller sent a hard smash into the angry skies.

Murray sprinted after the ball and made a spectacular bare-handed grab as a bolt of lightning illuminated the field - rendering the catch all the more dramatic to witness.

J.C. Kofoed, in the April 1924 issue of Baseball Magazine wrote:"Red Murray was for years noted as one of the greatest outfielders in the National League.
