So far, we’ve examined Lou Whitaker’s resume in part one and how it stacks up against other Hall of Fame second basemen in part 2. For the third part I’ll take a closer look at Hall of Fame second basemen during including slight before and after) Sweet Lou’s era. The list includes Joe Morgan who…
As did with building the case for Alan Trammell, next I’ll compare the best, worst, and average for key stat categories and where Lou Whitaker fits in amongst second basemen in the Hall (20 currently).
