Comments Regarding Dale Murphy

I saw many games played by Dale Murphy.

He was a key member of some good Atlanta Braves’ teams, one a division winner in 1982 under manager Joe Torre, the first foray into post-season play for either excellent player.

While Torre, who was a superb hitter (.363 in 1971) made many more post-season appearances as a manager, primarily with the Yankees, winning 4 titles and 6 pennants, to lead to his Hall of Fame entry, Mr. Murphy never again made it to post-season play.

That is one reason that I opine Murphy to be a really good player but not one to be in the Baseball “Hall.”
