It was a time where players knew how to play the actual game, not just hit, catch and throw. No shift back then

The All Star games of my youth were awesome, because it was basically my baseball card collection come to life. You only saw out of market teams on the NBC Saturday Game of the Week and occasionally on ABC's Monday Night Baseball. So the players felt larger than life because you only got to see them in scarce situations like the All Star game, playoffs or World Series. BTW, shoutout to my A's having representative wear two different unis. Gotta love it.

This is so true! If you were one of the lucky ones who had cable (I was!) you could watch the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves games to see some of the national league stars from time to time. I grew up in Detroit Tigers country...so I was an AL fan growing up. I always had a soft spot for the Braves....those mid 80's teams were brutal....but you had guys like Dale Murphy, Rick Mahler, Pascual Perez, etc. who made things interesting. Plus on the Chicago side....jesus....I loved the Tigers like no other back then.....but for best overall player in both leagues....that had to go to Ryne Sandberg.....that dude played out of his mind in 1984....unreal!

It's tough. There are a lot of guys in the Hall who weren't the premier power hitter in baseball for 6-7 years. Then again, his career stats make it sort of easy to justify him not being in. It's kind of goofy because if he didn't poop out at like 33-34 and just strung together 5-6 so-so seasons after his gravy run, he'd probably get in, but it wouldn't have really made him greater. It's a fickle thing this Hall.

@@bennylevine387 it's not tough, if Ryan Sandberg, Barry Larkin, Larry Walker, Harold Baines and now Ted Simmons are HOFers then Murphy is aswell. His overall numbers are as good if not better than those players and for a five or six year stretch, I'm not saying he was, but you could make a strong argument that he was the best player in baseball. Other than cherry picking a season or two of Sandberg's and Walker's career you can't even come close to saying that about the players mentioned above. He's a HOFer, stop dicking around and put him in and be done with it.

@@jsd795 So the guy (Walker) who gets in on his last year had about the same career power numbers of Murphy, just 50 points higher in batting average and OBP. And him getting in on the skin of his teeth makes Dale a slam dunk in your mind? I think his best case lies in the fact that for a nice period of time, he was maybe the premier power hitter in the NL. Maybe that's enough. But I think you're off-base in your vibe that this isn't worthy of a debate and his numbers are better than these more consistent players. Because you basically have 6-7 good years with Dale and about ten that aren't that great. And he's not the only HOF candidate with that kind of career, but most guys in the HOF were better in their non-best seasons to give their career more of an all-around feel. But I wouldn't cry that hard if he got in. Being the standout power hitter of the mid eighties counts for a lot in my book too.

@@bennylevine387 I won't even bother arguing about Baines and Simmons because there is no doubt that Murphy has a better case than those two, if you disagree then take it up with someone else. As for Walker forgive me if Coors field and playing in the height of the roid era make me more than a little skeptical about his numbers, and they still aren't substantially better than Murphy's. As far as Sandberg and Larkin's numbers, if you look them up they aren't overwhelming in terms of being HOF worthy. Lastly the fact that Murphy was a dominant player for a prolonged stretch, something that with none of the other players mentioned can be said, combined with his overall numbers, which are probably good enough on their own, make him a HOFer. This is just my opinion but I think it stands up to just about any counterargument that can be made.

@@jsd795 Well, there is a debate for the apparent majority of people who think 3-4 great years and 10 good years trumps 6-7 great years and 10 average years. Obviously, the people who vote think there is an actual debate on what you won't even entertain for some reason. You're not going to be able to make a case people can get behind by handpicking a group of hall of famers who you feel are the most undeserving inductees and then running a comparison. Whether Dale should be in the Hall doesn't come down to whether Larry Walker played at Coors or if Ted Simmons was ever truly dominant. You're sort of inventing a standard that doesn't exist. I'm not even against him being in just to be clear. He was clearly great. And that's what matters. You're right, none of those guys were ever feared like Murphy was. But to say that Murphy is so beyond Simmons and Baines that you won't even discuss it tells me you're having a little bit of an issue in evaluating a baseball career. If you'd just say he's better, I could maybe get behind that. But it's not as slam dunk a case as you're saying at all.

38 yrs later, so much has happened since this time.. a few players such as Charlie Lea & Tony Gwynn & nearly all the managers in this game have passed away. 9/11, America has had a Black Presiden both the White Sox and the Cubs have won at least one World Series, the top 2 80s icons Michael Jackson & Prince have died, Covid... and with all that..... Tony LaRussa is still the freaking manager of the Chicago White Sox.

Wow! This is amazing to me to see this again after so many years.... I couldn't even see this broadcast for a good portion of the game due to severe storms in West Michigan....we had a severe thunderstorm warning and a tornado warning and our local ABC affiliate went off the air due to all of the lightning strikes. For those that are old enough....remember when you'd have the local fire or police frequency cut through on your television set during really bad storms that knocked out your channel? That's what happened on this night! I was nine years old and I was stoked to see all of the great TIgers players that made the team. I remembered seeing Brett's homer to center and that's about it...honestly....Before something like KZread came along, you were relegated to whatever memories that you had from the live airing. Everyone always talks about Dwight Gooden mowing them down during his time on the bump and I just didn't remember that as a kid. I was more an American League fan at that time and the only National League teams that I liked were the Cubs and Braves because I could watch their games (thanks Cable TV!) I had to sit in the basement during the tornado warning and by the time our ABC affiliate came back on the air....the game was almost over and I had to go to bed, haha! It's funny how bad storms stay in your memory, especially when they're tied to a game like this.

God that Tigers team was so strong up the middle. Parrish behind the plate, Lemon in center, Trammel and Whittaker at the pivots.

Check out at 9:18- Pirates Chuck Tanner chasing his cap halfway through the playing field. Haha. Typical Candlestick. This was Tony Gwynn's first allstar appearance. Nice to see Hank Greenberg and Willie McCovey. Huey Lewis and the news singing national anthem. Very classy. Good memories.
