In this episode we discuss the Hall of Fame Case for Detroit Tigers legend Lou Whitaker. Lou and shortstop teammate Alan Trammell are the longest-running double play combination in major-league history, turning 1,527 double plays over 19 seasons. The 1978 AL Rookie of the Year, Lou won 3 Gold Gloves, 4 Silver Sluggers, was a 5 x All-Star selection and a key member of the 1984 Detroit Tigers World Championship team. He retired with a career WAR of 75.1 along with 2369 hits, 1386 runs, 244 home runs, 1084 RBI, 143 stolen bases, and a career slash line of .276/.363/.426. Lou is 4th all time for games played at second base. His teammate Alan Trammell is already in the HOF, however Lou is not in the HOF despite finishing his career with more games, plate appearances, at bats, runs, his, doubles, triples, home runs, RBI, walks, and total bases than Trammell along with a higher career batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, and WAR.
Alan is in the HOF, why isn't Lou?
