Does my argument that Murphy was one of the best players of his era hold any weight
IMO you should only be compared to the players that played when you played. And when you do this, Murph gets in the hall.

The sad thing is, if he'd have stuck around a couple more years and hit 5 or 6 more homers, he'd be in already. But really, 5 or 6 homers shouldnt be the different of being in or being out

BTW, if you ground into a fielder's choice and reach base, does that count as "getting on base" for OBP purposes?

Beautiful. This has been my one selling point in this whole thread.

I miss guys like Murph. He just played the game the right way, hustled, and didn't cause any trouble.

+1

I always believed that he would be in if he would have hit 400, because of it being a "milestone".
