Both Trammell & Whitaker are in top 10 in career WAR at their positions

Top 10 in career WAR among guys who played 50%+ games at 2B (from BBRef). Seems like they both should be in the Hall of Fame

Charlie Gehringer 80.8
Lou Whitaker 74.8

  1. Hopefully, some future Veteran's Committee will see fit to enshrine them together, hopefully while they're still alive. I know Trammell's still on the BBWAA ballot, but I doubt they'll ever get around to enshrining him.
