Yes indeed. Then some guys get two years being on a multi-player rookie card like Dale Murphy.

Off topic, but I hope Murphy is the one guy from the 80's that gets HOF nod from the veterans committee at some point.

It is funny how the HOF criteria of "character and sportsmanship" is used against candidates for enshrinement, but never used FOR enshrinement. Maybe it is time to change that and put that criteria to positive use and apply it to Murphy to put him over the top.
