Lou Whitaker was one of the great all-time Major League baseball players who strived to excel at everything he did. The former Detroit Tiger did something, though, that not many other professional athletes have ever done: he put his religious beliefs above everything else in his life, including his baseball career. He continues to be a practicing Jehovah’s Witness to this day and is considered one of the best baseball players in history who have not been elected to the Hall of Fame.
