So the Veterans committee elected this guy: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/whitede01.shtml First, why should he be in the HOF, and second, who in the world was lobbying for him? I guess he can now join Dave Bancroft, Rick Ferrell, Chick Haffey, and Rabbit Maranville in the absolute bottom of the barrell HOFers. OK, that's a little harsh. He wasn't nearly as useless as those guys.
