'''Dale Bryan Murphy''' (born March 12, 1956) is an American former [[professional baseball]] player. During an 18-year career in [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) from {{baseball year|1976}} to {{baseball year|1993}}, he played as an [[outfielder]], [[catcher]], and [[first baseman]] for the [[Atlanta Braves]], [[Philadelphia Phillies]], and [[Colorado Rockies]]; Murphy is best noted for his many years with the Braves. His entire MLB career was spent in the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL), during which time he won consecutive [[Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award|Most Valuable Player]] (MVP) awards ({{baseball year|1982}}–{{baseball year|1983}}), the [[Silver Slugger Award]] for four straight years (1982–{{baseball year|1985}}), and the [[Rawlings Gold Glove Award|Gold Glove Award]] for five straight years (1982–{{baseball year|1986}}). Murphy is a member of the [[Oregon Sports Hall of Fame]], [[Georgia Sports Hall of Fame]], and World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dalemurphy.com/bio.php |title=Bio  |access-date=2015-07-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150814215624/http://dalemurphy.com/bio.php |archive-date=August 14, 2015 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

==Early life==
Dale Murphy was born in [[Portland, Oregon]], on March 12, 1956,<ref>{{cite web |title=Dale Murphy Stats |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/murphda05.shtml |website=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=1 January 2020 |language=en}}</ref> to parents Charles and Betty. He had a sister, Sue. Murphy played [[American Legion Baseball]] and attended [[Woodrow Wilson High School (Portland, Oregon)|Woodrow Wilson High School]].<ref name="milbqa"/><ref name="porttrib"/>

==Baseball==

===Playing career===
In 1976, Murphy began his major league career with a nineteen-game stint [[catcher|catching]] with the Atlanta Braves. He appeared in only eighteen games the following season. In 1978, Murphy played [[first base]] mostly; at the plate he had a .226 batting average, though he also showed hints of his future power by hitting 23 [[home run]]s.<ref name="baseball-reference">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/murphda05.shtml |title=Dale Murphy Statistics and History |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=2015-06-25}}</ref>

Murphy switched to the outfield in 1980, a move that would help initiate a decade of highly productive play in the National League. Beginning in [[left fielder|left field]], he soon switched to [[Center fielder|center field]], the position at which he would find his greatest success. By 1982, the most decorated year of Murphy's career, the former catcher had transformed himself into an All-Star MVP outfielder who appeared in each of Atlanta's 162 games. His turnaround as a fielder was equally stark. In 1978, Murphy led all National League first basemen in [[Error (baseball)|errors]]. In 1982, spending time at each of the three [[outfield]] positions, he won the first of five consecutive Gold Gloves, as well as the first MVP award by a Brave since 1957, when [[Hank Aaron]] won the award with the then-[[History of the Atlanta Braves#Milwaukee|Milwaukee Braves]].<ref name="baseball-reference" />

Playing in the decade before the Braves began their [[Atlanta Braves 1990s pitching rotation|dominance]] of the [[National League East]], Murphy also made his only [[postseason]] appearance in 1982. Although he performed well, the eventual [[1982 World Series|World Series]]-champion [[St. Louis Cardinals]] eliminated the Braves in the [[1982 National League Championship Series]]. The league's most valuable player failed to translate his regular season preeminence into October success, hitting safely only three times and scoring one run. Murphy rebounded from the postseason sweep with another MVP award in 1983. This time period ultimately proved the high-water era of Murphy's career. Each year during the four season span from 1982 to 1986 he won a Gold Glove, appeared in the All-Star Game, and placed in the top ten in MVP voting.<ref name="baseball-reference" />

[[File:Dale Murphy 1984 Braves Police Set (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|Murphy circa 1984]]
In 1988, however, despite being voted to what would be his final All-Star appearance, Murphy's production began a slide downward. Murphy saw his batting average free-fall from .295 in 1987 to .226 in 1988. Only once more, in 1991, would Murphy bat above .250. Once a consistent source of power at the plate, he never again hit 25 home runs or more in a season.

During his 15th season with the Braves, Murphy was traded to the [[Philadelphia Phillies]] on August 3, 1990. Murphy's time with the Phillies was mostly uneventful. A degenerative, arthritic condition in his left knee limited Murphy to only 18 games in the 1992 season with the Phillies, although he did hit two home runs in that time to bring his career total to 398. He was released by the Phillies at the end of 1993 Spring Training and, on the same day, signed a Minor League contract with the Colorado Rockies for their inaugural season. He was used mostly as a pinch hitter.

After going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the Rockies' 8-0 road loss to the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] on May 21, 1993 (a rare start and, even more rare, only the fourth time all season he was in a game from the first pitch to the final out), Murphy did not play in the next 4 games. On the morning of May 27, 1993, while the Rockies were in Houston to begin a series with the [[Houston Astros|Astros]], he suddenly announced his retirement from baseball at age 37. He explained the Rockies were needing to make a 25-man roster move and informed him ahead of time he was going to be released. The team gave him the chance to retire instead of being released, which he did.<ref name="The New York Times"/>

Murphy finished at 398 career home runs, failing to homer for the Rockies in 49 plate appearances and reach the 400-homer milestone. At the time of his retirement, he was 27th on the all-time home run list and 4th among active players, two behind [[Andre Dawson]] of the [[Boston Red Sox]].<ref name="The New York Times">{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/28/sports/baseball-2-short-of-400-homers-murphy-calls-it-quits.html |title=BASEBALL; 2 Short of 400 Homers, Murphy Calls It Quits |work=The New York Times |date=1993-05-28 |access-date=2019-12-08}}</ref>

===Career summary and honors===

Murphy finished his career with 398 home runs, 1,266 RBI, and a .265 lifetime [[batting average (baseball)|batting average]]. His MVP awards in 1982 and 1983 make him one of only four outfielders in MLB history with consecutive MVP years; at the time, he was the youngest to have accomplished the feat. His many honors include seven All-Star appearances, five Gold Gloves, and four Silver Sluggers.<ref name="baseball-reference" /> Murphy led the National League in home runs and [[runs batted in]] (RBI) twice; he also led the major leagues in home runs and RBI over the 10-year span from 1981 to 1990.

During the 1980s, Murphy led the National League in games, at bats, runs, hits, extra base hits, RBIs, runs created, total bases, and plate appearances. His 308 home runs during the decade is second only to Mike Schmidt's 313. He also accomplished a [[30–30 club|30–30]] (30 home runs with 30 stolen bases) season in 1983.<ref name="baseball-reference" /> Murphy played in 740 consecutive games, at the time the 11th longest [[Major League Baseball consecutive games played streaks|such streak]] in baseball history. His jersey number ("3") was retired by the Atlanta Braves on June 13, 1994, in his honor as opposed to that of even [[Babe Ruth]], who wore Boston Braves number 3 during the partial season with which his career concluded.<ref>{{cite news |title=Braves retire Dale Murphy's number 3 |url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1994/06/13/Braves-retire-Dale-Murphys-number-3/8315771480000/ |access-date=February 16, 2022 |work=United Press International |date=June 13, 1994}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=BRAVES RETIRE UNIFORM OF DALE MURPHY |url=https://www.deseret.com/1994/6/14/19114493/braves-retire-uniform-of-dale-murphy |access-date=February 16, 2022 |work=Deseret News |agency=Associated Press |date=June 14, 1994}}</ref> Murphy was inducted into both the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame and the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1997.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://oregonsportshall.org/?page_id=56|title=Baseball Old &#124; Oregon Sports Hall of Fame & Museum}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://georgiasportshalloffame.com/site/our-inductees/ |title=Our Inductees {{!}} Georgia Sports Hall of Fame |website=georgiasportshalloffame.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140423214713/http://georgiasportshalloffame.com/site/our-inductees/ |archive-date=2014-04-23}}</ref>

===Public persona===
Murphy's clean-living habits off the diamond were frequently noted in the media. A devout member of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (LDS Church),<ref>[http://newsnet.byu.edu/story.cfm/41584] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071021063317/http://newsnet.byu.edu/story.cfm/41584 |date=October 21, 2007 }}</ref> Murphy did not drink [[Alcoholic drink|alcoholic beverages]], would not allow women to be photographed embracing him, and paid his teammates' dinner checks as long as alcoholic beverages were not on the tab. He also refused to give television interviews unless he was fully dressed. Murphy had been introduced to the LDS Church early in his career by teammate [[Barry Bonnell]].<ref name="milbqa">{{cite news |title=Q&A with Dale Murphy |url=https://www.milb.com/milb/news/qa-with-dale-murphy/c-12262330 |access-date=July 26, 2018 |publisher=MILB.com |date=July 15, 2010}}</ref>

For several years ''[[The Atlanta Constitution]]'' ran a weekly column, wherein Murphy responded to young fans' questions and letters. In 1987 he shared ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'''s "[[Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year|Sportsmen and Sportswomen of the Year]]" award with seven others, characterized as "Athletes Who Care", for his work with numerous charities, including the [[Make-a-Wish Foundation]], the Georgia [[March of Dimes]] and the [[American Heart Association]].

One of his more memorable incidents was reminiscent of a scene from the classic [[black-and-white]] baseball film ''[[The Pride of the Yankees]]'':

<blockquote>
Before a home game against San Francisco on June 12, 1983, Murphy visited in the stands with Elizabeth Smith, a six-year-old girl who had lost both hands and a leg when she stepped on a live power line. After Murphy gave her a cap and a T shirt, her nurse innocently asked if he could hit a home run for Elizabeth. "I didn't know what to say, so I just sort of mumbled 'Well, O.K.,' " says Murphy. That day he hit two homers and drove in all the Braves' runs in a 3–2 victory.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1120992/index.htm | work=CNN | title=Murphy's Law Is Nice Guys Finish First | date=July 4, 1983 | access-date=April 30, 2010 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120722212542/http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1120992/index.htm | archive-date=July 22, 2012 | df=mdy-all }}</ref></blockquote>

He was ultimately granted several honors because of his integrity, character, and sportsmanship, including the [[Lou Gehrig Memorial Award]] (1985), "[[Sportsman of the Year]]" (1987), [[Roberto Clemente Award]] (1988), [[Baseball_Assistance_Team#Awards#Bart Giamatti Award|Bart Giamatti Community Service Award]] (1991), and World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame (1991 induction).

===Hall of Fame candidacy===
Despite his reputation as a star [[five-tool player]] superstar and multiple MVP awards, Murphy has not been elected to the [[Baseball Hall of Fame]]. He first appeared on the writers' ballot in 1999. He has failed to gain election, joining [[Barry Bonds]], [[Roger Maris]], and [[Juan González (baseball)|Juan González]] as the only Hall of Fame-eligible recipients of multiple MVP awards not in the Hall.<ref name="nytimes">{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/03/sports/baseball/03score.html | newspaper=[[The New York Times]] | title=Twice an M.V.P., but Never a Shoo-In | first=Stuart | last=Miller | date=January 3, 2010}}</ref> His failed candidacy has drawn particular notice due to his reputation as a clean-living player whose career was immediately followed by baseball's scandal-plagued "[[Banned substances in baseball|steroids era]]".<ref>{{cite news| url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/joe_posnanski/01/04/hall.ballot/1.html | work=CNN | title=Making the Hall call is never easy (cont.) | date=January 5, 2010}}</ref><ref name="charlotteobserver">[http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2010/05/26/1458352/case-for-dale-murphy-to-be-added.html ]{{dead link|date=June 2015}}</ref><ref name="thestate">[http://www.thestate.com/2010/05/26/1303014/morris-murphy-worthy-of-hall-of.html] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100703130843/http://www.thestate.com/2010/05/26/1303014/morris-murphy-worthy-of-hall-of.html |date=July 3, 2010 }}</ref>

Baseball writer [[Rob Neyer]] feels that the former MVP's candidacy has been hurt by a career that "got a late start and suffered an early end."<ref name="espn">{{cite web|url=http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/1599/why-dale-murphys-still-waiting |title=Why Dale Murphy is still waiting – SweetSpot – ESPN |publisher=Espn.go.com |date=2009-12-03 |access-date=2015-06-25}}</ref> Stuart Miller, baseball writer for ''[[The New York Times]]'', also notes the "sharp decline" in production that plagued Murphy after the age of 31 in arguing, "Players who were great for a short time do not receive much [Hall of Fame] recognition."<ref name="nytimes" /> Finding "one of baseball's best players in the 1980s" to be "undervalued", Miller nonetheless writes that the Brave great "is typically considered a 'close but no' guy." Statistician [[Bill James]] says of Murphy, "It certainly wouldn't offend me to have him in the Hall of Fame. I just wouldn't advocate it." James set a metric for Hall induction as 300 [[Win Shares]], a statistic weighing what players contribute to their team's victories. Murphy has 253 Win Shares. James ranks eight Hall of Famers below Murphy.<ref name="charlotteobserver" />

A writer for the ''Charlotte Observer'' wrote, "Murphy's incredible nine-year run in Atlanta was every bit as good as anyone else during his era".<ref>[http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2010/05/26/1458352/case-for-dale-murphy-to-be-added.html#ixzz0x6blBfLh ]{{dead link|date=June 2015}}</ref> Neyer notes that the explosion of power during the [[Banned substances in baseball|steroids-fueled era]] that began after Murphy's retirement may have caused Murphy's numbers to pale in comparison for many voters.<ref name="espn" /> Some have argued that Murphy's reputation for clean living may encourage voters to "look more favorably on what Murphy did without using performance-enhancing drugs."<ref name="charlotteobserver" /> (Murphy has asserted that Barry Bonds "without a doubt" used performance-enhancing drugs.)<ref>[http://www.1280thezone.com/persons/bigshowblog/DaleMurphy8-6-07.mp3] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090325093822/http://www.1280thezone.com/persons/bigshowblog/DaleMurphy8-6-07.mp3 |date=March 25, 2009 }}</ref> ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'''s Joe Posnanski has endorsed Murphy as an "emotional pick … a larger-than-life character who signed every autograph, spoke up for every charity and played brilliant baseball every day for mostly doomed teams."<ref>{{cite news| url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/joe_posnanski/01/04/hall.ballot/1.html#ixzz0x6dZ9aZa | work=CNN | title=Making the Hall call is never easy (cont.) | date=January 5, 2010}}</ref> [[The Baseball Project]], a supergroup composed of [[Peter Buck]], [[Mike Mills]], [[Scott McCaughey]], [[Steve Wynn (musician)|Steve Wynn]] and [[Linda Pitmon]], wrote the song “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYqF--wQ3MU To The Veterans Committee]” advocating his election and praising him for meeting the voting criteria: ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.<ref>{{Cite web|title=BBWAA Election Rules|url=https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/rules/bbwaa-rules-for-election|access-date=2020-06-29|website=Baseball Hall of Fame|language=en}}</ref>

Although he continued to earn the requisite 5% to remain on the ballot, Murphy averaged only 13.6% over the first twelve years of voting.<ref name="baseball-reference" />  (Election to the hall requires 75%.) In the first decade of his eligibility, he "peaked at 23% in 2000 and fell to 11.5% in 2009."<ref>[http://www.thestate.com/2010/05/26/1303014/morris-murphy-worthy-of-hall-of.html#ixzz0x6TQ9dWj] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100703130843/http://www.thestate.com/2010/05/26/1303014/morris-murphy-worthy-of-hall-of.html#ixzz0x6TQ9dWj |date=July 3, 2010 }}</ref> Moreover, as writers may only vote for ten players each year, some have argued that the candidacy of stars from the 1980s, such as Murphy, will become imperiled as a wave of more recently retired players with more statistically impressive credentials becomes eligible in the 2010s.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cbssports.com/columns/story/12745964/remember-the-80s-murphy-destined-to-be-halls-latest-decade-diss |title=Columns |publisher=CBSSports.com |access-date=2015-06-25 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121014051130/http://www.cbssports.com/columns/story/12745964/remember-the-80s-murphy-destined-to-be-halls-latest-decade-diss |archive-date=October 14, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Noting his low vote totals, Murphy has said, "Since I'm not that close [to election] … I don't think about it that much."<ref name="thestate" /> On January 9, 2013, in his 15th and final appearance on the Hall of Fame ballot, Murphy secured 18.9% of the vote, falling well short of the 75% necessary to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame on the BBWAA ballot.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/hof_2013.shtml |title=2013 Hall of Fame Voting |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=2015-06-25}}</ref> Since Murphy's removal from the BBWAA ballot, his Hall of Fame candidacy has been considered twice by the [[Veterans Committee#2016 revisions|Modern Era Baseball Committee]], in [[2018 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting#Modern Baseball Era Committee|2018]] and [[2020 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting#Modern Baseball Era Committee|2020]],<ref>{{cite news |last1=O'Brien |first1=David |title=Braves great 'Murph' is again denied election to baseball Hall of Fame |url=https://www.ajc.com/sports/baseball/braves-great-murph-again-denied-election-baseball-hall-fame/GhnBMUBsleQDMXTjKyiUCO/ |access-date=December 12, 2019 |work=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution |date=December 10, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Bowman |first1=Mark |title=Murphy's bid for Cooperstown falls short |url=https://www.mlb.com/braves/news/dale-murphy-not-elected-to-hall-of-fame |access-date=December 12, 2019 |work=MLB.com |date=December 8, 2019}}</ref> and once by the [[Veterans Committee#2022 revisions|Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee]] in [[2023 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting#Contemporary Baseball Era player ballot|2022]].<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Major League Baseball|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/fred-mcgriff-elected-to-hall-of-fame-2023-class|date=December 4, 2022|access-date=December 4, 2022|title=McGriff Elected Unanimously to Hall on Contemporary Era Ballot|first=Anthony|last=Castrovince}}</ref>

Murphy has written three books. The first, ''The Scouting Report on Professional Athletics'', is about the professional athlete's lifestyle. Murphy discusses balancing career and family, working with agents, managing business affairs, serving one's community, and preparing for retirement. In his second book, an autobiography titled ''Murph'', he talked about his religious faith. He discussed the struggles of his early baseball career and how he overcame problems. In 2007 Murphy wrote his third book, ''The Scouting Report for Youth Athletics'', in response to what he saw as the increase in negative behavior in youth sports resulting from poor examples set by professional athletes. Included with each book is a 50-page insert which includes contributions from, among others, [[Peyton Manning]], [[Dwyane Wade]], [[Tom Glavine]], and [[Danica Patrick]]. In a question-and-answer format, they discuss the lessons they learned from youth sports and how they apply the lessons today. There is also a physician-penned section about illegal performance-enhancing drug use in sports.
