1947 Offseason "Veteran's Committee" Hall Of Fame Ballot: A few more players for your consideration

SP Whit Wyatt: The 40 year old Wyatt retires after pitching 18 seasons for the Cubs, White Sox, and Indians. His career record is 210-180 with a 3.88 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP.

Remember, this is not a big strikeout era, despite a few guys who struck out tons like Paige & Feller. The rest of the league put up numbers similar to Wyatt. He won 20+ games twice, and over that same 6 year period he won 79 games. Whit Wyatt won the Most Valuable Pitcher award in 1946, was a 4 time All Star, and won a World Series with the Cubs in 1935.

Lon was a 3 time All Star and he won 2 World Series rings, including being a teammate of Whit Wyatt on the 1935 Cubs.

RF Ben Chapman: The 39 year old Right Fielder retired after 18 seasons with the Yankees, Tigers, Cubs, & Dodgers. He had 2,655 hits in 9,282 at bats for a lifetime .286 average. He had 482 doubles, 189 triples, 151 homers, 1,268 RBI, and he scored 1,479 runs. He drew 1,186 walks to help him earn a .367 lifetime OBP. His SLG was .427, his OPS was .794, and his VORP was 434.2. He was also an accomplished base stealer, posting 20+ steals 10 times and finishing with 366 stolen bases.
