Lou Whitaker was my favorite player, too, back when I was a kid. I liked his quiet demeanor – most of my friends liked Trammell or Morris or Parrish for getting in the spotlight. Larry Herndon was another favorite of mine.
I completely agree about the HoF missing the boat with Lou. Some argue that Ryne had a better peak but productive longevity should mean something at the HoF level.
