Danny Murtaugh denied Hall of Fame

The Pittsburgh Pirates got hit with some bad news this weekend, as former manager and infielder Danny Murtaugh was denied entry to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the Golden Days Era ballot.

The Golden Days ballot featured 10 candidates who made contributions from 1950-1969, who were then voted on by 16 members of the Golden Days Committee. A candidate had to receive at least 12 votes to be enshrined, and Murtaugh was among a group of five candidates to receive three or less votes, while Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Miñoso and Tony Oliva were elected.
