That's a good observation about him struggling against lefties but I can't imagine most of the guys not voting for him the first time around even noticed that. The more I look at it, how is Bill Mazeroski in the hall of fame and not this guy?
yeah, that's fair. I definitely agree you have to consider the era they played in. Forget about the Maz comparison. I still think Whitaker is a hall of famer.
Well my first kneejerk reaction with these guys is to look at career WAR, a test which he easily passes. Also, if your name is Lou, you had to at one time or another been called "Sweet Lou" to be considered famous enough to get into the hall. He also passes this test.
That one WS AB?
He also never stood for the National Anthem. Not once.
That, and that alone is why he'll never make it as an NFL QB.
