Being a Indiana native/Hoosier. I sure hope he does go into the "Hall Of Fame".

The answer is YES. Forget about the betting. \nHis Career Numbers are:\n\n4256 hits- Most All-Time\n3562 Games Played- Most All-Time\n2165 runs- 5th most All-Time\n746 doubles-2nd All Time\n5752 total bases- 6th All-Time\n.303 Career Average\nOnly had 160 Career Homeruns and \nOnly had 1314 Career Rbi.\nPlayed the game the way it was meant to be played. \n\nIf anyone belongs ... he does. Hasn't it been long enough?

He should have an * next to his records. The sportswriters should not vote him into the hall of fame, unless they let Pete Rose in also. His records were achieved without cheating but by "hustling". (Trying Harder)

I, too, was very surprised that Murphy did not make the Hall of Fame. It's unusual for a two time MVP to have that long a career and not make it.  I figured he'd go in easily once he was eligible.\n\nA couple of things might have hurt his chances... first, he didn't have a lot of post-season exposure, having made the playoffs only once, in 1982.  \n\nThe other thing that hurt him, I'm guessing, is that his career went downhill pretty quickly, and he was unable to do what a lot of people (myself included) THOUGHT he would do, in terms of career numbers.\n\nHe played in what was probably the best 'hitters' park in baseball, so I'm sure some HOF voters probably discounted his career numbers because of that.\n\nOf the ten most similar players, Duke Snider (#2) is the only one who is in the HOF, although Ron Santo (#4) and Gil Hodges (#5) should probably be in the HOF as well,  Joe Carter is the most similar. But Snider himself has only one HOF in HIS top ten comps, that being Johnny Mize).\n\n2,111 hits is not, in itself, a HOF number. Murphy  ranked 183rd after the 2004 season...since then, he might have dropped a spot or two)\n\nSnider played in six World Series (winning two) and hit 11 World Series Home Runs, so that might give him an edge over Murphy in terms of his HOF chances.\n\nIt's true that many players with lesser numbers are in the HOF, but if a selection is later shown to be a mistake (as many have), I don't think we can really use that to say that everyone who's better than 'this guy X' has to be inducted.\n\nIn the end, to me, it's not Murphy's 'fault' that he didn't do what a lot of us thought he would do in terms of career numbers... he played as well as he could, and played hard every day, from his first major league game right up to his last.  And whle it doesn't seem right, I think that if he had reached 400 HRs instead of 398, that actually might have put him over...\n\nHe still might eventually make it, especially when voters start re-evaluating some pre-steroids players in light of the common use of steroids over the last 10-15 years...\n\nLet's hope that he eventually makes it, because I think he does deserve the honor... he certainly would not be lowering any standards if he were to be selected, that's for sure.

i don't care for Barry...attitude problem...and sorry to say I'd didn't realize it was Piazza's 400th...good for him.\n\nIf Barry gets into the hall of fame...i think they should allow Pete Rose into it.

He's one of the best rebounders of all time.  If we're just talking on the basis of basketball, they it's probably a yes.  But if character factors in, and I'm not sure what basketball's rules are on that, then I'd say no.

Gwynn and Ripkin are shoe-ins for the hall.  McGwire will not make it for at least for a few years if ever.  When he faced congress a couple of years ago he really hurt himself when confronted about his possible use of steroid.  Of course he admitted to the use of a certain steroid in 1998 when he "broke" Maris record.\n\nOne of my biggest concerns is that there are players that should be in the hall and for whatever reason have yet to be voted in.  Among my own personal list are players like, Jice Rice, Dave Parker, Don Mattingly, Dwight Evans, Lee Smith, Alan Trammell, Jack Morris, and of course the "Goose" Rich Gossage.\n\nSomebody please tell me why these guys are not hall of famers????

I hope so. \n\nBut it WILL 'return' to the Hall of Fame and of course, any players on the winning team that are from Canada will have a chance to 'bring it home'.

First to the guy above me - Magic Johnson was inducted into the Hall of Fame four years ago.\n\nMichael Jordan is undoubtedly the best player of the past 30 years, and possibly of all time.  Considering that he's not yet inducted, then I'd have to say that he's the most deserving player not currently enshrined.\n\nThere are plenty of others who are deserving and who will get there, but there are no players as good as MJ who are still waiting to get in.

Yes, he should go for the following reasons:\n1. He has the stats to be an automatic hall of famer.\n2. What steroid did he take??  He took Creatine, which is a body building enhancer but is not a steroid.  \n3. Even if Sosa and McGuire were jacked up on every steroid known to man, there was no rule against it in baseball until after their record-breaking chase.\n4. People say McGuire and Sosa carried baseball in the 1996-1998 seasons.  Although I agree with ESPN announcer Mike Greenberg that if they did not do it, someone else would have stepped up and carried baseball...I do believe that they were the best ambassadors for baseball at that time.  Can you picture Barry Bonds and Manny Ramirez having the same good-guy media image for the game of baseball as those two had?\n5. It's not like McGuire came out of nowhere and started hitting monster number of homreuns.  10 out of 11 seasons where McGuire played 100 games or more, he hit over 30 homers.\n\nAs you can tell, I am a very strong supporter of McGuire going into the hall of fame.  HOWEVER, I don't think he is a first ballot hall of famer, just because of the legends he is facing on the ballot this year.  Ripken and Gwynn are average everyday guys who went to work everyday and worked hard at perfecting their craft.  They became legends while they were playing, not for monster homerun numbers, or huge strikeout numbers,  but for doing the simple things in the game to perfection and showing every   Tom, Dick and Harry out there that if you work hard at what you believe in, you too can acheive greatness.  They were ambassafors to the game every day of their lives.  I am hoping the Hall of Fame voters are smart enough to vote McGuire in on the second ballot.

Don't think so. it's a shame a guy with so much talent\nhas such a bad attitude. Whereever he goes he needs to\nchillout & shutup. I know he wants to win,but talking\nbad about his teammates is not the way to succeed.

Just for spite, they'll probably elect him in the year after he dies.\nHe's "banned for life."\nIt don't say nothin about after he's dead.\n\nHe should have been in a long time ago.\nHow do you make the all-century team and not the Hall of Fame?

it depends on what you mean by "better"... in the clutch, i would take reggie miller over anyone but mj, kareem, bird, nd magic...regardless of when, where, or against whom...steve nash i think will prove to be the better overall player by the end of his career, in stats, mvp's, and titles; well, at least in the first 2, i'm suddenly sensing a shift of power in the nba (and nhl as well), from the western-dominance of the late-90s to early 2000s to a new order of eastern supremacy--can you say lebron nd the cavs vs. chauncey billups and the pistons vs. d-wade and the heat for the next decade???  i see the writing on the wall... but, back to topic; steve nash will end his career with better stats and more mvp's than reggie miller, and will prove to have made his team better, but reggie is and will always be one of the best players EVER in the clutch
