Of all of the greats that have worn an Atlanta Braves uniform, none have as polarizing a Hall of Fame case as Dale Murphy. Everyone thinks that Murphy is a great ambassador of the team and baseball in general, but opinions are very strong when it comes to him being Cooperstown worthy with only Andruw Jones potentially rivaling him among the players not currently inducted.
Murphy's proponents point to his insane peak in the 1980's including a pair of MVP wins and are quick to say that the only reason why he didn't end up with HOF counting stats was because of severe knee troubles.
