Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell turned double plays together in Detroit for 19 seasons and 1,918 games, longer than any double play combination in history. Trammell made the Hall of Fame in 2018. Whitaker got 2.9 percent of the writers' vote in 2001 and fell off the ballot after one try. He had 2,369 hits, three Gold Gloves, a Rookie of the Year award and a ring from 1984. He's eighth among Tigers here, and he's still waiting. Should Whitaker already have his plaque?
