Dale Murphy was the king of 1980s baseball. While that may seem like an outlandish claim to the casual fan, I am here to tell you today that Murphy was one of if not the best player that played his prime throughout the 1980s. His ability to man center field at a gold glove level earned him 5 gold gloves throughout his 18 year big league career. A 7 time all star, 2 time MVP, with a 46.5 career WAR, 398 homers, and 2,111 hits. The dude could flat out ball! His humble nature and leadership presence is what made him an Atlanta icon. The Portland native won over those whom he came into contact with, and was able to be the best player in the league twice over in back to back seasons. Watch today to learn more about an Atlanta Brave and an all time baseball great, Dale Murphy.

@ *Cam* - Great video my friend. I was born in 1971 and Murph was my hero as a young kid and in my teenage years. The GREATEST single moment ever for Murph (IMO) was coming off the bench with stitches in his palm and hitting a Dinger off Doc Gooden. It's my best memory of watching baseball ever. You highlighted perfectly what I always knew but we didn't have the stats back then like we do now but he got hosed a couple years in voting for MVP. He should of had 3 MVP's at the least. You also have to remember he played on some bad Atlanta teams and had nobody to protect him in the line up and got pitched around constantly. You nailed this one!!!! Nice job!!

I know this is obscure, but my favorite player growing up was Willie McGee. He was the only player that was almost as skinny as me and the year I really became an obsessive sports fan was 1985. Him and Marcus Allen became my favorite sports stars. Both had injuries mess up their 86 seasons. I still believe that if it wasn't for 86, McGee would have been mentioned among the near-HoF players of the era due to hitting for average, stellar D, and his speed.

It is an absolute travesty that Dale Murphy is not in the Hall of Fame. Murphy carried the Braves during the ‘80’s especially when the Braves were not so good. He never complained, always signed autographs, and never had any clubhouse issues. If Murphy could’ve made a bigger splash in the playoffs. He would be a no brainer. Nobody could beat the Cardinals that year the Braves made it. Throughout the ‘80’s the Braves played against great teams like the Mets, Dodgers, Cardinals, Padres, and even the Astros. Murphy wasn’t an alcoholic, drug user, domestic abuser, or bad with fans. Murphy’s only crime was he played for a Braves team that was constantly in rebuilding mode. I know, I watched those Braves teams. I wish there was something the fans could do to get Murphy in Cooperstown. Murphy deserves to be there.

It's a shame he didn't have maybe one or two more seasons where he hit 30 HR and around 100 RBI's. And he just fell a couple of homers short of 400 HR for his career. His prime was over after his awesome 1987 season a bit early by his early 30's. It's too bad his batting average dipped so low after that season down to the .220's. He also has no world series appearances. His run with the Braves was great though and I agree with this video. He was the Atlanta Braves during that era and could also run and field too. He is the definition of a borderline HOF case for the Veteran's Committee but I hope he gets in. Class act too. If only his prime lasted a couple of more seasons he likely would have made it to the Hall already.

A question about the MVP voting of 1984- who were the two relievers who finished above Murphy that year? I see Bruce Sutter of the Cardinals. He was a reliever. But the only other pitcher above him was Rick Sutcliffe of the Cubs, who won the Cy Young award as a starting pitcher. Are my eyes bad? I didn't see anyone else. Good job on this video, by the way. I always thought that in the eyes of the voters, he needed one more season like he had in 1983 or 1984 in order to make the Hall. Im not convinced that we should use the mistakes of the past to justify his selection, though. There are a lot of players in the Hall who should not be there. But Murphy has to be considered on his own merit. Given that you could argue that he was the best player in the game from 1982-1987, a case could be made for him.

No you’re not seeing things, I mistakenly misremembered Sutcliff as a reliever that’s my bad on that. You make some great points though! I’m glad you enjoyed the video

@DaDitka 11 месяцев назад

@Cam23 I sure did and thank you for doing it. I'm a White Sox fan but I remember Murphy when I watched Braves games on WTBS back in the day. All my best to you and much success!

@@DaDitka that’s when you know a player is special when they’re not on your favorite team but you still root for them! And that means a lot thank you!

Would love to hear you talk about Jose Bautista and his crazy breakout with the Jays. Could maybe talk about both him and Edwin, or just focus on Bautista and his journey leading up to his legendary bomb and bat flip!

That’d be a great idea for a video, thanks for the suggestion!

Still can't believe Baines is in the HOF over guys like Steve Garvey and Dale Murphy. I always thought Steve Garvey was a lock and Dale had a good chance to get in the Hall.

Murphy and Harper are also the best LDS ball players of all time.

I seen the comments, and they seem to be favoring him for a hall of fame induction. Here's my take. No, I don't think he should be in the hall of fame. However, if your gonna induct others who are not as good as Murphy and have ties to PED use. Then Murphy should get it too. I wish the Baseball hall of fame had higher criteria to get. Basically you had to be a top 3 pitcher or a top 3 hitter of that decade to get in.
