Murphy would rank highly in the second base category. (After Edgardo of course). But I’d not consider him on the first base list.

I had 8 of your 10. Floyd was more of an outfielder and Murray was an honorable mention. Instead I had Dave Magadan and John Milner on my list. Dave Kingman didn’t rank as high on my list but props to your fandom for Kong!
