The baseball Hall of Fame has screwed up again, big time! Lou Whitaker has been snubbed yet again. Nine retired major league players, plus former player’s union leader Marvin Miller have been included on the Modern Era Hall of Fame ballot, but Whitaker is not among them.
Former Tigers Alan Trammell and Jack Morris will get a second shot at the Hall of Fame, but the omission of Whitaker makes bittersweet news for Tigers’ fans and for Whitaker, who clearly belongs in those hallowed halls.
Players on the ballot will have their cases presented to a 16-member committee, and 12 votes are required for induction.
