		Louis Rodman Whitaker was born on May 12, 1957, in Brooklyn, the son of Louis Rodman Whitaker, Sr., whom he never knew.
		After an off-year in 1980, Whitaker started well in 1981, floating near the.300 mark in late May. But a disastrous June (.207), which included a leg injury which sidelined him for nearly three weeks, sent him into a tailspin.
		Whitaker settled into retirement in Lakeland, Florida, with his wife and three daughters, keeping a low-profile.

	Hall of Fame Part II - Seconds Anyone?
		Despite their surface similarities, Whitaker received less than 3% of the vote in 2001 and was cast from the Hall of Fame ballot in his first year of eligibility.
		Whitaker played second base with great durability, won three gold gloves, was a five-time all-star and Rookie of the Year (1978) but never became a serious MVP candidate (he finished 8th in 1983 by dint of a.320 average).
		For one thing, Whitaker hit.300 or better only once (that 8th place MVP finish), and did so a second time at the end of his career (1994) in only 92 games; or, perhaps it is the.204 postseason average with 1 RBI (though he did walk a lot--.350 on base%), or the lack of post-season awards.

		Trammell to Whitaker might've been the best modern DP combo, especially due to their time together allowing them to be such a great combo.

	Hall of Fame Part II - A Great Duo: Trammell and Whitaker
		And although Whitaker’s career numbers may not blow us away, he and Frank White were probably the best all-around second baseman in the AL for quite a while.
		Their elections to the Hall are as much a part of the legend (and winning spirit) that they created in Chicago at the turn of the Century with first baseman Frank Chance (.296 career average over 17 seasons with 401 steals and.396 on base), as their superior defense, for which they are famously remembered.
		If this is the case, Lou Whitaker may have to wait, but the 1984 WS MVP and 1987 should-have-been-MVP may yet have a fleeting chance.
