Dale Murphy's OPS+ was right around 150 during those six big seasons. For centerfield points of reference: Ken Griffey, Jr.'s five big seasons averaged around 160 and Bernie Williams ran around 147 during his six peak seasons. The gold standards, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, were around 190 and 170, respectively, during their peaks.

I have a tough time thinking of Williams in the HoF, and I can't really justify putting Murphy in without putting Williams in. I'm a small Hall guy, though.
