Being one of only 18 players in MLB history to have a 3.5 WAR in each of 15 seasons makes Lou Whitaker’s absence from the Hall of Fame yet another glaring example of the Hall of Fame’s blind spots.

76 | DEADLINE SPECIAL: Premature Speculation – Major League A*Holes: IN THE HOLE
Kris Bryant and Ryan Tepera for Joey Bart would serve the #SFGiants and #Cubs very well | #MLB's hypocrisy exposed once again as Javy Baez is fined for showing emotion on the field while MLB markets the shit out of it | Cubs maximize an asset and A's gain a legendary cult hero with Andrew Chafin trade | The Jesus Lizard shockingly dealt to Miami for expensive rental, Starling Marte | Dallas Keuchel struggles versus lefties has him feeling like he's pitching on Mars, but is that a bad thing? | Rick Hahn has #WhiteSox fans worried he's overplayed his hand being TOO patient waiting for the trade market to come to him while the supply of bullpen arms and middle infielders dwindles | Miguel Cabrera passes Barry Bonds on the all-time hits list and inches closer to 500 home runs | #Tigers Eric Haase and Akil Baddoo emerging as serious Rookie of the Year contenders at the expense of division rivals | If MLB is really worried about viewership numbers being down they could simply lift their fucking ridiculous blackout policy | Know your history, kids — comparing Shohei Ohtani and Babe Ruth is lazy and an injustice to both

I gave up on the HOF over 10 years ago. What they do now is barely news. If I had a choice I’d rather go to the Negro League Museum.
Totally agree. I’m loving how much press the Negro Leagues are getting now and have a feeling the NLBM is going to have A LOT of new visitors as soon as things open back up. I think it’s super cool the Kansas City T-Bones partnered with them and changed the name to the Monarchs.
