Former Atlanta Braves star and local restaurateur Dale Murphy made it halfway to the Baseball Hall of Fame — but once again came up short of induction.
Murphy received six votes, only half of the 12 needed for entry into Cooperstown.

Meanwhile, Jeff Kent received the required 12 votes and will be enshrined.
Earlier this year, Murph’s, the restaurant Murphy owned in the Cobb Galleria, closed its doors.
