Today, 3 new members of Baseball's Hall of Fame are sworn in - outfielder Andre Dawson, manager Whitey Herzog, and umpire Doug Harvey. In honor of them, I've hand-picked them as today's links. Although umpire Harvey never played in the Major Leagues, I can at least do Dawson and Herzog.
Andre Dawson
Hawk is an easy one.
1. HoF Andre Dawson played for the 1976 Montreal Expos with HoF Gary Carter.
2. HoF Gary Carter played for the 1992 Montreal Expos with Matt Stairs!
Degrees of Matt Stairs: 2
Whitey Herzog
Herzog turns out to be an easy one too - he played on one of my Connected Teams.
1. HoF Whitey Herzog played for the 1959 Kansas City Athletics with Lou Klimchock.
2. Lou Climchock played for the 1970 Cleveland Indians with Ray Fosse.
3. Ray Fosse played for the 1976 Cleveland Indians with Rick Cerone.
4. Rick Cerone played for the 1992 Montreal Expos with Matt Stairs!
Degrees of Matt Stairs: 4
Welcome to the Hall, gentleman!
