Johnny Bench did not go first overall in the draft. The A's snagged him with the number 4 pick. The Yankees took your man "Sweet" Lou Whitaker with the first overall pick. Then the next two teams had brain farts, and left Bench sitting there for the A's.
Whitaker received 51% votes for his first go round with the Hall of Fame committee. I think he will make it in.

I've been having some rather nothing to hoot about drafts lately. Chet Lemon dropped for 81. Really need a couple stud pitchers. I've never had Seaver, Carlton or Gooden in a random debut. Really hope to see them soon.
