Burgers or gum? Lou Whitaker

Last time gum cruised to a 6-2 win. Will it win again here?

Wendy's has Whitaker chatting with someone while posing for a photo, while Topps has him turning a double play over a Red Sox player in what must be a spring training game.

Whitaker had a good season in 1984, though not as good as '83 when he had a career year hitting .320. Whitaker hit .289 with 13 HR and 56 RBI, and after a poor ALCS showing rebounded to have a good World Series, reaching base 9 times and scoring 6 runs. Lou Whitaker was one of the better second baseman in the American League in the 1980s. The 1978 AL Rookie of the year and a five-time All-Star, Whitaker played in 2,390 games and hit .276 with 244 HR and 1,084 RBI. He was an excellent fielder and walked more than he struck out. His hitting numbers were not spectacular but he was an above-average hitter for a long time. After his playing days, Whitaker was an instructor for the Tigers for many years but is now retired.
