Murtaugh falls short in Hall of Fame vote

Well, maybe next time, Danny Murtaugh.

On Sunday, the Golden Days Era and Early Baseball Era committees announced their Hall of Fame votes, and while Murtaugh was on the ballot, he did not receive enough votes from the 16 member Golden Days Era committee to be elected.

The Baseball Hall of Fame did not report Murtaugh’s final vote total, signaling he received three or fewer votes. He needed 12, or 75%.

Four members of that ballot were elected through the Golden Era vote and will be part of the 2022 class: Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Miñoso and Tony Oliva.
