I think it was Murphy's 1982 MVP that was really questionable. Al Oliver had a better year all around, but the media didn't like him, plus he played for Montreal. He was a great player for a few years, but not HOF material.

Cravath was certainly the big hitter of his day, but aside from that, he didn't really have a stand out career. People just didn't care about HRs in those days and he didn't stand out in any other areas when so many other great players of that era did.
