Will Voters Give Murphy Another Look-See?When Dale Murphy was playing, he was as beloved as any player who has ever worn a Braves uniform. Along with being one of the NL's finest players, Murphy further endeared himself to his fans with the genuine dedication he showed to his community. There may have been a short period during the 1980s, when Murphy seemed to be a cinch for future HOF induction. But since being placed on the ballot in 1999, he's never received more than 24 percent of the votes. To be enshrined, a player must receive support from 75 percent of the voters. "I would love to see Dale in the Hall of Fame," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "For two reasons, the numbers he put up, [and] he was MVP twice. And if you look at the all-around type of player he was, he went from catcher to first base to left field to center field and became a Gold Glove winner. Also his character, what he does for communities and all that, has to add in somewhere."
