I think Murphy is a much stronger candidate. Longer peak, more important position, two MVPs.
But it pains me that we're going to see this happen again in 3 years, where they won't get enough votes to make the Hall but they will get enough to make it impossible for more than one player to make it.

What's interesting to me is that several of the Hall of Famers on the committee (Marichal, Jenkins, Kaat, Perez) mostly played before anyone on the ballot was a significant player in the majors.
Feels like a panel built for Dale Murphy and Don Mattingly without any obvious cronies.

If Trump ever had to ride the Subway system in NYC or walked around Vegas (locations of two of his properties), he would know that escalators fail all the time.
