“Second to None,” a grassroots committee in the Kansas City area, has been formed to endorse Frank White for the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

The group is hoping that White will be strongly considered.  He was a 5-time All-Star, 8-time Gold Glove Award winner, World Series Champion, Royals Hall of Famer, one of only three Royals’ players whose number is retired and his bronze statue is prominently displayed at Kauffman Stadium, .

 

“Our community is certainly excited that Frank may be considered for the next ballot as evidenced by the already 6,500 signed petitions (growing daily) and the myriad of very impressive letters of endorsement already received,” said Lenny Cohen, a committee member from Olathe, KS.

Fans can go to a newly formed Web site  to learn about White’s career and sign the petition that will be submitted over the next month to the Baseball Writers, responsible for developing the ballot.
