Phillies: Examining Dale Murphy’s Hall of Fame case

Dale Murphy was clearly at the end of a great career when he played for the Phillies from 1990 to 1992. Despite limited production during that time, Murphy was a fan favorite.

A gentle giant at 6′ 4″, even with the Braves, Murphy was one of the most respected and likable players in all of a baseball. But was his career Hall of Fame worthy?

Taking a look at the numbers, Murphy had 2,111 hits, 398 home runs, 1,197 runs and 1,266 RBI for his career that lasted from 1976 to 1993. He led the league in home runs and RBI twice, slugged over 30 home runs six times and knocked in over 100 five times.
