I was NOT a Braves fan, but Dale Murphy should ABSOLUTELY be in the HOF! No question!

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.

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.

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

I had no idea Dale Murphy wasn’t a HOF, coming from a Reds fan. Every time that guy came to the plate, could change the game!

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!

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.

As a kid growing up in the south in the early 80s this man was a legend. Yes he belongs in the Hall of Fame.

Dale is a legend. Needs to be in the HOF

Class act no drama

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

From a Phillies fan - Glavine seems like a cool guy from this video. There's an older video out on YT somewhere of Dale Murphy telling his side of this story, and it's hilarious. Can't believe Murphy isn't in the HOF.

One of my favorite players growing up. Murphy is a class act in every way. He signed a ball for me once and talked to me for a minute or so. He should definitely be in the HOF. If he would have played in the 90’s, dude would have had 500 HR’s.

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

I watched that game on TV. Classic , one I’ll never forget.

First time seeing Glavine in a while. Was a huge Braves fan back in college in the 90s. Man we're all getting old... lol

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 ;)

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!

Great interview! I hope to see Dale Murphy get into the HOF soon. A great player and human.

Chipper Jones is my favorite baseball player of all time but these 2 men are way up there as well. I couldnt agree more with the folks comments on this video Mr. Murphy was a phenomenal ball player and very humble kind athlete and certainly would have my vote for the HoF.

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

Of course, McDowell was involved in this situation. First he spits on Kramer and Newman and then this happens

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

I met Murphy at his restaurant, Murph's, at the Galleria across I-285 from Truist Park. Great guy.

I thought he was in the hof. I'm a dodger fan and remember all those years. Totally deserves to be there.

Growing up in central MA in the 80s I wore a Braves hat because I was a center fielder that looked up to Murph.

Quit letting these sports writers with big egos and no experience playing the game to vote. Let the guys in the Hall determine who joins them

Made me watch the Braves back in the Day, and I'm a Cardinals fan HOF for Murphy and a Great person

Lifelong Cubs fan...growing up in the 80's Murph was a force and a nemesis...so much so that I was shocked and pleased to find out a guy that was such a force on the diamond could be such a diamond of a person off the field. Put his ass in the HOF.

The problem with putting Murphy in the HOF is he played about 15 years but only had about 5 HOF-caliber years. There were quite a few years at the beginning of his career and at the end of his career where he put up mediocre numbers.

DALE IS THE MAN.

Who here had a Dale Murphy Rawlings baseball glove?

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.

Dale Murphy is my guy too

Murphy was the second best all around player for a ten year period (behind Schmidt) he just had the bad luck of 1. having a slightly short career 2. finishing right before the juiced era when his stats looked rather average and 3. After the age of 31 his stats just went completely in the toilet for some reason I've never understood. But I think you can make a pretty good HOF case if you understand his career in context.

I remember vs Glavine vs Murphy incident, as a TV highlight. The pitches didn't hit Murphy, because he stepped away as they came in. After ball four, Glavine was ejected. Oddest hit-batter without getting hit situation i've heard of.

Glavine’s got those running for office glasses.

Steve Garvey should be in, too

murphy... rose....bonds..should be in the hall of fame

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

I had a situation once where I was told to hit a batter I respected, so I hit him with a change-up about 1/2 the speed I normally threw it 😂

About this time, Ted Turner's tbs became available over the air. That made it one of about 7 channels i could watch. In OR, i was a Dale Murphy fan, as were several neighbor kids for the same reason.

Can’t believe Murphy STILL isn’t in the HOF…..

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

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

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

Why isn't he or Gravey not n the hof is mind blowing

i am as big a baseball fan/traditionalist as anyone on the planet; but i CANNOT understand intentionally hitting a batter as some sort of retaliation. you are giving the other team a free baserunner (albeit only first base, but still...), and you are risking needless injury to another team's player. just go ahead and look at the batter you've been told to hit and yell out, "nanny-nanny-boo-boo!" it's exactly the same on the maturity scale... and for the record, i think mr. glavine handled this situation perfectly, regardless of what mr. cox may think. tom glavine is truly one of the class acts in the history of baseball.

Too funny

I think the hof let's too many in. That being said players such as Santo, Baines, Rollins opens the door for Murphy, Garvey, Mattingly and, edmonds

Might as well put Dale Murphy in the hall of fame. It is already full of good players that aren't hall of fame worthy.

Him and Tom Chambers

I know baseball players have their codes and that Bobby Cox was old school. But it is absolutely disgraceful that Cox ordered Glavine to throw at one of the greatest Braves--and nicest guys--of all time. The team had already decided to move on from it, why should that change just because it took three games to get to it? Cox lowered himself a notch in my estimation that day.

I was watching that game on tv.... It was a cool moment. In games where the Braves were down by double digits, the crowds would stick around to see Murph bat again. When he connected with one it sounded like a 30-06 going off.

I was a kid in the 80s. The Braves were horrible. It was only Murph!! My mom would buy tickets for one dollar at top of stadium and back then it was so empty you could literally walk down and sit next to Jimmy Carter, Ted Turner and Jane Fonda. Lol.

Note when he threw at him, it wasn't at his head!

Murphy is HOFer, but when it left Dale, it left almost completely.

Braves made the playoffs once in the Murphy era, not a couple of times.

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.

Dale Murphy should be HOFer I guess the baseball writers of America are soooo much smarter than us 😡

Dale Murphy isn't in the Hall?

Dale Murphy was a good ball player, but a guy with a .265 batting average doesn’t belong in the hall. It’s not the “Hall of pretty good “

SMurph absolutely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!! PEDs skewed the HR numbers. 300 HR should matter

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

not only two great Braves, whom I've met - but two great players and two great men. Murph is in my HoF. all I want to know is, did Glavine get his arse chewed by Cox for NOT hitting Murph? I heard a similar story from an ex-Braves pitcher.

Bobby Cox was the best manager ever.

Murphy had a long, solid career. Doesn't mean he should be in the hall, though.

Glavin got more calls off the plate than any other pitcher, and then would complain about it when he didn't get them. "I'm a veteran player, we deserve those calls," I remember him saying at the time. Clown stuff.

HOF should loosen up and induct similar to football. It should be an annual celebration of the greats. No excuse for Murph not being in the hall.

So for me he was a very good baseball player, but he was not an all time great. Playing 18 years a lot of his numbers are because of the length of his career so having said that Dale Murphy should not be in the Hall of Fame. And that goes for a couple hands full of people as well that are in the Hall. The “Feelings Police” will probably eventually vote him in. I think they should just do it much much sooner because the point has already been made that he’s not thought of as a Hall of Fame MLB player.

why was it necessary to hit murphy?

I love LOVE Murphy my favorite player growing up i have just about all his cards ever printed, and I'm a Yankee fan. But his numbers aren't enough just like I think Harold Baines shouldn't be in along with others. The HOF has become somewhat of a joke.

im disappointed he did just hit him

Dale Murphy is a no brainer. Sometimes they put guys in the hall that I'm not even familiar with.

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

Dale Murphy 2nd greatest Brave ever

I didn’t know he wasn’t. If you think about baseball in the 80’s Dale Murphy was as big a name as there was, he would have started on every other team. 😂😂

Murphy should be a hall member….period!

NONE of US(I am 50 so swing 5 years upward and downward) in the neighborhood wanted any ball card more than Dale Murphy ones!!!!!!!

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

Pitchers who intentionally throw up near a hitter's head are despicable people.

Dale Murphy was a terrible feilder!!!.fielder!!!.. no chance of hall of fame...

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

Taking up for Wally Ritchie intentionally hitting Otis Nixon the first time is the real joke here. As I remember Ritchie got out of that brawl with his side ripped open from Otis kicking him. His jersey had a long rip and you could see his skin was scratched up and bleeding. And he deserved it.
