Default Dale Murphy and the Good Guys

Dale Murphy was one of my favorite players growing up as a kid. Just a class act. I'm personally disappointed that he seems to have trouble making the Hall. Not to rehash the arguments, but suffice it to say the consensus seems to be that he is on the cusp in terms of the body of his baseball work.

But isn't there a history of "good guys" ultimately making it to the Hall of Fame? I'm thinking Pee Wee Reese. Gary Carter. Fred McGriff. I would have thought that Dale Murphy ultimately makes it in, given that he seems like the ultimate good guy and is unlikely to pull a Lawrence Taylor and do something that embarrasses his legacy and his sport.

If so and he gets enshrined, maybe that short stack of raw 1977 RCs I have sitting in top loaders might be worth something...

Thoughts?
