Based on current Hall of Fame members, yes, Murphy should be in. Based on my own interpretation of what the Hall should represent and who should be let in, no, he shouldn't be.

Tony Perez, Jim Rice, Duke Snider...I can't make a valid argument for any of those players to be in over Murphy.

We shall be great friends, even if you aren´t converted to Murphyism.

Murphy had more bad years than good years... and I mean bad years by comparing him against his contemporaries, not other HOF members. He wasn't consistently good enough during his career and he wasn't great for nearly long enough.

Nobody asked you!

Sorry, but I liked this question more than your Philippines question.

It just hurts because I know that you´re stats are right.

Go search and tell me how many major leaguers hit 20+ homers every year in the 80´s (save the 1981 strike season).

Tell me how many HOF outfielders hit less than 0.280 in 11 of their 18 seasons, including five seasons hitting lower than 0.230.

Dale Murphy hasn't even gotten close to sniffing 75% of the votes, and rightfully so. He's closer to being the next Dave Kingman than he is a HOF outfielder.
