The original Murder's Row team was the 1927 Yankees, considered to be the greatest team ever. They led the AL every day of the season and swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series that year, cementing their place in Baseball history and lore.
The 1927 Yankees were referred to as murderer's row because they had one of the best lineups in the history of baseball, containing four future HOF'ers in Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Earle Combs, and Tony Lazzeri, as well as many other above average players in their prime (Meusel, Koenig, etc.).
Murderer's Row came from people saying that they'd "murder" opponent's pitching (score a lot of runs off of them).
