Dale Murphy was snubbed in another Hall of Fame vote.

The longtime Atlanta Braves great isn’t bitter, but he does believe he belongs among the legends in Cooperstown, N.Y.

"I think there's a spot in there for me," Murphy tells AJC columnist Jeff Schultz and WSB-TV Action News 2 sports director Zach Klein on their "We Never Played the Game"  podcast.

Murphy touched on a couple of other subjects including how the Braves' penalties will affect their future and why he believes Liberty Media needs to step up when it comes to payroll.
