"Honest" Eddie Murphy. Born in Hancock on October 2, 1891. He played 11 years for the Philadelphia Athletics, Chicago White Sox and the Pittsburgh Pirates. His batting average trailed Babe Ruth's by only 3 percentage points in 1918. He appeared in 3 World Series. Not implicated in the "Black Sox" World Series scandal of 1919, hence the nickname of "Honest" Eddie Murphy.

Abe Atell, Featherweight Champion of the World from 1901 to 1912, is buried in the Beaverkill Cemetery. He was accused of being Arnold Rothstein's right hand man behind the "fixing" of the Chicago "Black Sox" World Series of 1919, but convinced a New York jury that he was not the correct Abe Attell. Yes, the same World Series that Hancock's "Honest" Eddie Murphy appeared in and is the story behind the motion picture," Eight Men Out".
