Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

It is surprising that the most popular WAR names like Grich and Whitaker never make it onto these ballots

The current eras committee that is voting later this year is for pre-1980s players. Whitaker's production mainly came after 1980.

The bulk of Grich's production was pre-1980, but I think he gets hurt by the fact that his career straddles 1980, with significant production after 1980.

1980 is an arbitrary year, and I think it hurts players like Grich, Dwight Evans, and Keith Hernandez whose careers straddle 1980.

And it apparently hurts EVERY white player who debuted before the mid-1950's.

Whitaker didn't even make the last ballot as I recall.
