"On Sunday evening in Orlando Florida, the Baseball Hall of Fame revealed the results of the 2025 Contemporary Baseball Era Committee's ballot to see who would get a trip through this particular method. Of the eight players who were eligible to make it in, Dale Murphy was on the ballot. Granted, Murphy was a long shot and had always ben a long shot for the Hall even when he was on the BBWAA ballot but there was still at least a little bit of hope"
"The former Mets and Giants star second baseman will be heading to the Hall of Fame as part of the 2026 class. Carlos Delgado was second in the voting but missed out by three votes. Dale Murphy only got half of the votes he needed, as his six votes were ix fewer than what he needed for induction. Don Mattingly also got six votes and everybody else on the ballot (including Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens) got five votes or fewer."
The Baseball Hall of Fame's Contemporary Baseball Era Committee voted on eight eligible players for induction. Jeff Kent was the only player to receive more than 12 votes and will enter the Hall as part of the 2026 class. Carlos Delgado finished second but missed induction by three votes. Dale Murphy received six votes, half the number needed for election, and Don Mattingly also received six votes. All other candidates on the ballot, including Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, received five votes or fewer. Murphy has long been a long shot for the Hall but maintains strong fan support in Braves Country despite not being elected.
