Congrats to Fred McGriff. They got that right.
And they got it wrong leaving out @DaleMurphy3 once again.
One day the @baseballhall will come to their senses and #PUTMURPHIN.
I’m cashing in every bit of positive baseball juju I’ve ever earned. When I was 10, Dale Murphy was my hero. Now I’m 46, proud to call him a friend, and I still believe this: if the @baseballhall is where baseball keeps its soul, then @DaleMurphy3 belongs there.
Dale Murphy, a 2x NL MVP and 7x All-Star, explains why mental toughness was key to his success and how difficult the skill is for baseball players to develop.
Part 1 - Do You Remember 1982? Dale Murphy dominated baseball as NL MVP with 36 HR, 109 RBI, his first Gold Glove, and his first Silver Slugger. Time to get #MurphyToTheHall
Thank you Ernie Johnson (@TurnerSportsEJ)!

If you wanted to see how the steroid era effects your favorite player from the 80s and their hopes at the HOF, look at this list and then search the current top 20 in HRs and see who all had steroid ties. Hint- it’s a lot. @PutMurphIn
