Whitaker outpaces such legendaries as Ryne Sandberg (68.0), Roberto Alomar (67.1), and Craig Biggio (65.5). Here’s a thing I didn’t know until just a few years ago: before Jack Morris and Alan Trammell were elected to the Hall of Fame in December 2017, the 1984 Tigers and the 1981 Dodgers were the only two World Series champions who do not have a player in the Hall of Fame. People love good stories. Among Hall of Fame second basemen (at least 50 percent of games at the position), Whitaker’s 75.1 WAR would rank sixth among 20 eligible second basemen. Whitaker’s candidacy certainly shouldn’t have fallen to the Modern Era ballot, and it shouldn’t have been further fumbled by a committee that gave him as many votes as Steve Garvey.The third and final game Thursday of Oakland’s series at Seattle has been postponed to allow for additional testing and contact tracing after a member of the Athletics’ organization tested positive for the coronavirus.The first two games in the series scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday had previously been put off.Major League Baseball said the games will be made up with a doubleheader in Seattle on Sept. 14 and another in Oakland on Sept. 26.MLB said it will continue to provide updates as necessary. For that you can blame the BBWAA too, as an “oversight committee” of that guild was responsible for coming up with nominees.This despite the fact that Whitaker more than deserves induction.Whitaker had a career WAR of 75.1, which is seventh all time for second basemen. much time with injury, but he did have some bangs that cost him, with his otherwise excellent 1988 season consisting of only 115 games.Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Third game of Oakland’s series at Seattle postponedMarlins get outfielder Starling Marte in trade with D-backsPadres get Clevinger from Indians in 5th trade in 3 daysMariners send C Nola to San Diego as part of 7-player tradeDodgers set NL home run mark for month with 57 in AugustRockies acquire right-hander Mychal Givens from OriolesPitching-desperate Braves acquire Milone from OriolesPadres acquire Moreland from Red Sox for 2 prospectsA’s announce positive virus test, game vs. Astros postponedPadres acquire Trevor Rosenthal in trade with RoyalsNationals sign longtime Red Sox utility player Brock HoltReport: Athletics acquire La Stella from Angels for BarretoA-Rod, J-Lo out of Mets’ bidding amid report Cohen set to buyAthletics, Astros walk off field in protest, game postponedMLB celebrates Jackie Robinson, calls for justice continueYankees place Judge on IL, promote prospect FlorialWhite Sox acquire OF Jarrod Dyson in trade with PiratesMets, Marlins walk off field in social injustice protestAthletics don’t play finale at Texas to support racial justiceDodgers’ Buehler goes on IL with blister on right handReds-Brewers, Mariners-Padres, Dodgers-Giants postponedGiolito pitches first no-hitter of year; White Sox top PiratesAngels-Astros game Wednesday postponed as Laura approachesFresh start: Clevinger back with Indians after demotionIndians manager Francona to miss 3-game series against TwinsAngels, Indians to play in 2021 Little League ClassicGiants designate Pence for assignment, get Rays’ RobertsonMets say all virus tests negative since return from MiamiNationals’ Strasburg is done for season, awaits hand surgeryPadres place Pomeranz on IL with strained left shoulderOrioles put Chris Davis on IL, summon prospect MountcastlePhillies acquire David Hale from Yankees to help struggling bullpenRoyals’ Perez goes on IL with lingering vision problemTerry Francona not ready to rejoin Indians after medical procedure Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Third game of Oakland’s series at Seattle postponedMarlins get outfielder Starling Marte in trade with D-backsPadres get Clevinger from Indians in 5th trade in 3 daysMariners send C Nola to San Diego as part of 7-player tradeDodgers set NL home run mark for month with 57 in AugustRockies acquire right-hander Mychal Givens from OriolesPitching-desperate Braves acquire Milone from OriolesPadres acquire Moreland from Red Sox for 2 prospectsA’s announce positive virus test, game vs. Astros postponedPadres acquire Trevor Rosenthal in trade with RoyalsNationals sign longtime Red Sox utility player Brock HoltReport: Athletics acquire La Stella from Angels for BarretoA-Rod, J-Lo out of Mets’ bidding amid report Cohen set to buyAthletics, Astros walk off field in protest, game postponedMLB celebrates Jackie Robinson, calls for justice continueYankees place Judge on IL, promote prospect FlorialWhite Sox acquire OF Jarrod Dyson in trade with PiratesMets, Marlins walk off field in social injustice protestAthletics don’t play finale at Texas to support racial justiceDodgers’ Buehler goes on IL with blister on right handReds-Brewers, Mariners-Padres, Dodgers-Giants postponedGiolito pitches first no-hitter of year; White Sox top PiratesAngels-Astros game Wednesday postponed as Laura approachesFresh start: Clevinger back with Indians after demotionIndians manager Francona to miss 3-game series against TwinsAngels, Indians to play in 2021 Little League ClassicGiants designate Pence for assignment, get Rays’ RobertsonMets say all virus tests negative since return from MiamiNationals’ Strasburg is done for season, awaits hand surgeryPadres place Pomeranz on IL with strained left shoulderOrioles put Chris Davis on IL, summon prospect MountcastlePhillies acquire David Hale from Yankees to help struggling bullpenRoyals’ Perez goes on IL with lingering vision problemTerry Francona not ready to rejoin Indians after medical procedure

The only second basemen (same 50 percent stipulation) to do that are Whitaker, Hornsby, Morgan, Sandberg, Alomar, Biggio, Chase Utley, and Whitaker was not without accolades: he won the 1978 AL Rookie of the Year Award. Since then history, while better for his inclusion, has felt imbalanced. Tigers great Lou Whitaker among 10 on Hall of Fame ballot Whitaker is one of at least three players with Michigan ties who has a chance for election on Sunday. While neither ever won an MVP — Trammell was robbed in 1987 — they led the Tigers to the 1984 World Series title and the 1987 AL East crown, and served as the heart and soul of a Tigers team that finished above .500 for 11 straight years during their primes. He was a five-time All-Star and took home four Silver Sluggers along with three Gold Gloves to boot. The average WAR for Hall of Fame second baseman is 69.4. Among Hall of Fame shortstops (at least 50 percent of their games at the position), Trammell has the eighth-highest WAR among 21 eligible players. Dave Winfield (64.2) and Kirby Puckett (51.1) were elected that year.
