The most boring Hall of Fame player

[Omar 382]

Shortstop Travis Jackson played for the New York Giants from 1922-1936. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1982 by the Veterans Committee, and finished with a 46.0 fWAR for his career. Let's look at how exciting he is:

• Born and died in Arkansas
• Had a career slash line of .291/.337/.443
• Had a career wRC+ of 101
• Averaged 13 home runs per a 162 game schedule
• Missed managing five seasons due to tuberculosis

He's basically the Hall of Fame equivalent of smoking meth
