		When you looked at what Vern achieved, and compare his stats to those of other shortstops of his generation, you get an idea just how dominant a player he was.
		Maybe if Vern had played most of his career in NY and then become the worst announcer in the history of sports the veterans committee would have put him in.
		Though Lou is a very interesting contrast to Vern in terms of his HOF credentials....Of course Lou had a lot of intangibles going for him.

		The '44 Browns had one.300 hitter, outfielder Mike Kreevich, who barely made it at.301; one man with 20 homers, shortstop Vern Stephens, who hit exactly 20; and one player over the 85-RBI mark, Stephens, who knocked in 109 runs.
		The Cardinals, benefiting from Stephens' throwing error in the fourth (one of 10 Brownie errors in the Series) and getting run-scoring singles from Emil Verban and Lanier in that three-run inning, notched a 3-1 victory that wrapped up their second Series title in three years.
		The World Series was becoming old hat for the St. Louis Cardinals, who had just appeared in the event for the eighth time in 19 seasons.

		Ted Williams and Vern Stephens hold the franchise mark, combining for 82 homers in 1949.
		The No. 1 duo of Willliams and Stephens (318 in 1949) certainly won't be caught, nor will the No. 2 grouping of Walt Dropo and Stephens (288 in 1950) or No. 3 Jimmie Foxx-Pinky Higgins (284 in 1938).
