Stan Hack certainly should be in Cooperstown. Besides the general absence of third basemen in the Hall of Fame, Hack's stats compare favorably to those of his teammate Billy Herman. Here's one of my favorite unsung should-be Hall of Famers, Lon Warnecke. Here are his lifetime stats, compared to a sure-fire Hall of Famer whose career paralleled his, Lefty Gomez.
Warnecke — 192-121 with a 3.18 ERA
Gomez — 189-102 with a 3.34 ERA
