Murphy wasn't just a HOF player, but human being. One of the ERA Committees needs to vote him in now. The man deserves his day in the sun.

[@BrianSchaffer]

Not trying to says this as a Braves fan, but as a baseball fan, Fred McGriff had the same length of dominance and was elected by them. Looked at stats, but Murphy played 154 games or more per season every season except one from 1980 to 1990. 1200 runs, 2100 hits on top of the near 400 homers, back to back MVPs. The only thing that isn’t eye popping is the average and on base. But if that is all that is keeping Murphy out, then that’s a crock.

[@jasonmorton884]

Glavine is my favorite ball player of all time! I absolutely love those 90s Braves.

[@matthewgabbard6415]

With that pitching staff, how in the world did they only win one?

[@long-time-first-time]

I never liked the Braves as a team, but Dale Murphy and Tom Glavine are two of my favorite players of all time. Great story!

[@RR-1977]

Ok

[@tlininger36]

I actually "hated" Glavine , not really but it was out of respect because you knew he would pretty much beat you because he was an amazing pitcher, so I have nothing but the greatest respect for him , we need more pure pitchers like him and Maddox nowaday.

[@doobielawson702]

Great story. I'm a Dodger fan, but Murph and Glavine are two guys that are hard to dislike. Murph was freakishly strong. I remember he hit a ball through the wall at Fulton County Stadium during BP. Idk how he's not in the HoF.

[@douglasbrittain7018]

I agree. I think the only problem was that he didn't finish his career as strong in the end. In my opinion he deserves to be in based on his performance and character. Being MVP for 2 straight years is a thing in itself. When a lot of fans come to the game just to cheer on 1 guy for the most part should be enough. but I don't think no one from 1978-1988 could have done a better job consistently like he did.

[@randomname3715]

Back in the day it was Brett, Schmidt, Murphy, Rose and Rickey. Murphy should definitely be in the hall. Plus he was a great fielder.

[@bug5258]

Dale is my favorite player of all time. He is the reason I wore the number 3 in every sport I played in for 20 plus years. Even when collecting baseball cards yeah I'm that old I probably had more then 200 Murphy cards

[@billysikes1374]

He told the truth, NOBODY came to see the Braves, they came to see #3, If Harold Baines, Ted Simmons, and Scott Rolen are HOFers, then wtf is Dale Murphy? How many MVP awards did those 3 scrubs win COMBINED, I'll wait, Look up Carlos Delgado and Andrew Jones numbers, Shouldn't be a HOF without them

[@RJN8580]

Bingo

[@briankendall7878]

Scott Rolen is one of the best 3B of all time,get off of the guy already. It's the most under represented position in the HOF. He has a WAR over 70.

[@RJN8580]

@@briankendall7878 Stop 🛑 just 🛑, Rolen is not on the greatest third baseman. Rolen shouldn’t even be in the Hall of Fame.

[@briankendall7878]

@@RJN8580 He's top 10 ever at the position. You're an idiot. Literally other than Bell,Boyer and Nettles who not in is even close to him? Molitor and Martinez barely count as 3B because they barely played the position. Rolen is 8th or 9th and about on par with Santi. Then Bell,Boyer, Nettles and Baker make up the rest of the top 14 You Rolen trolls really do need to get a clue.

[@ryancrawford8042]

Biggio < any of them

[@charliethomas2798]

Class act no drama

[@Monte74Bello]

Even as a little kid in the early 80s I knew Murphy was one of the best in the game. Him and Mike Schmidt were my favorites

[@andrewkelley434]

Not many people know about Glavine being drafted in the 4th round by the LA Kings, ahead of Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille!! He was an outstanding hockey player, with lots of records here in Billerica, MA. But, I think he made the right move ;)

[@joshnaudi]

Dale Murphy is my guy too

[@johnnynephrite6147]

I still have a stack of Tommy G's rookie cards somewhere.

[@barrygrant2907]

I will always be indebted to Ted Turner for buying the Braves and TBS and shoving the Braves games down everyone's throats. You learned to love them no matter how bad they played.

[@disneyforthewin]

You are Tom Glavine....hof, world series champ....300 game winner.....BUT WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO THROW AT DALE MURPHY!?!?! ;)

[@dougkenny6548]

Glavines control influenced alot of umpires. The catcher would set the target six inches off the plate. Glavine would hit the glove and get a called strike on unhittable pitches.

[@kokolovitch56]

Glavine throwing at Murphy was one of the greatest episodes in MLB history.

[@DamonMurphy1]

No relation 😁 but my favorite Dale Murphy 'story' is after the '82 MVP season, he actually went and did some Instructional League work that off-season. I don't remember the full details but what I do remember is one of his teammates being asked about it and responding - with mock disgust - that Dale wanted to be the first person to win an MVP then the 'Most Improved Player' the following year. 🤣 Close! He won back-to-back MVPs!

[@matthewgabbard6415]

Who here had a Dale Murphy Rawlings baseball glove?

[@59gaperry]

Yep.

[@carlt8188]

Dale Murphy isn't in the Hall?

[@vtroygohokies3230]

Some may not know Dale played AAA in Richmond. He was a catcher which did not work well.

[@johnheer3059]

DALE IS THE MAN.

[@jamesdelaney3797]

Dale Murphy 2nd greatest Brave ever

[@aaronhogan6926]

#3 HOF, #25 HOF....no debate.

[@mikewagner9395]

I'm biased, but I respect Tom Glavine for throwing at but not hitting Dale Murphy

[@MrJking065]

There is only one reason I can think of why Dale Murphy is not in the HOF. His religion. That can be the only reason because Dale Murphy is a Mormon

[@douglasbrittain7018]

I think one of the main reasons why he isn't in there because his career in the end for the last 5 years wasn't as great. Career wise though he should be in.

[@ironman549]

I thought the exactly same thing, he has 8 kids and is a moron. And a huge advocate against steroid use in sports.

[@Pedroism]

​@douglasbrittain7018 and he will get punished fir that's, dude lit it up 398 hr ans 2000 hits.

[@Stan-zr6yt]

Do you mean to tell me that pitchers occasionally purposely throw at batters? Oh my! P.S. Good story.

[@rwwilson21]

It's a unwritten rule.

[@thawkereynolds]

Dale Murphy was nowhere near as good as Don Mattingly during their era
