The Major League Baseball Hall of Fame is trying to make up for the past mistakes of its voters. Its latest poor effort includes a nine player Modern Era ballot consisting of players who fell just short of the Hall of Fame during their years on the ballot.
Long time snubs and former Detroit Tigers Alan Trammell and Jack Morris are two of the nine players on the ballot. Tigers second base legend Lou Whitaker is absent from the ballot despite having a higher career WAR than every single player on the list, including Trammell and Morris.
