Of course I have a sneaking suspicion that Dale Murphy is the epitome of what you consider to be the glory days of your baseball memories?

Heard something interesting. In 1999, Murphy had 19% in his second year, Blyleven had only 14% in his first year. In 2000, Jack Morris had his first year and had 22%. Murphy had 23% and Blyleven had 17%.
Which one got in and which ones aren't going to?
