Retrosheet shows that Ray Mueller had a major league coaching record only with the Giants and the Cubs, but not with the Indians:

Retrosheet does not include Spud Murray among its major league coaches. |
Thank you, Cusick! I don't know how I missed these requests.
As noted above, Mueller and Murray were not officially recognized coaches. Mueller was a spring training coach/instructor and Murray was a batting practice pitcher, unofficially the first "official" bp pitcher in the league. I have attached photos of Mueller, from spring training 1968, and Murray ca. late-1960s, with Yankee stars Whitey Ford (l) and Mickey Mantle (r).
