Jim is joined by author Clayton Trutor to break down down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB slugger Dale Murphy. First, Jim and Clayton discuss how and why Murphy was the first cable television star in sports history (4:36). Next, they talk about his dominant run in the 1980s, how he compares to HOFer Jim Rice as a player, and whether Murphy passing the Bill James "ink test" matters (8:44). Finally, they discuss whether the success of the 1990s Braves may have hurt Murphy's candidacy (37:58), before both stating whether or not they believe Murphy deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (45:06). After making a final verdict, Clayton briefly talks about his new book, "Loserville: How Professional Sports Remade Atlanta-and How Atlanta Remade Professional Sports", which comes out February 1, 2022 (48:48)
