Former Atlanta Braves great, Dale Murphy, snubbed again by MLB Hall of Fame

The start of the 2018 MLB Hall of Fame announcements began yesterday as the Modern Era Committee decided on two players for the 2018 class.

Jack Morris and Alan Trammell were elected to the baseball Hall of Fame yesterday by the Modern Era Committee. During his 18-year career, Morris had 254 wins and piled up 2,478 strikeouts. He was a four-time Gold Glove winner and MVP of the ’84 Fall Classic. Trammel had a career batting average of .285 with 2,365 hits. Both players were very well deserving of this honor.

Morris was on 14 of the 16 ballots submitted and Trammell was on 13.
