Sadly, this final OotS feature for 1976 concerns another player on whom there is not much available light to spot.

According to Seamheads, Herman Dunlap played just three NeL seasons, almost entirely for the American Giants, in the second half of the 1930s. He rates just one unenlightening paragraph in Jim Riley's book, and none in any of my other sources. Squat. Zip. Bupkis. He doesn't even feature in EC's MLE group. Which means that, apart from those raw stats, all I can tell you is that he also replaced Bullet Rogan in the OF for the West in the 1936 East-West game and went 1-for-2 with a run scored, and died aged 70 in 1978.

His EL avatar is proving harder to keep in the dark. He was drafted 15th overall by the Dodgers in 1971 and in the nearly five seasons since he has been most productive indeed, with 15 bWAR to his name already, along with a 1972 Championship ring and an MVP award from that year's Fleet Conference Series. His career slash currently sits at a not-too-shabby 261/331/402 with 76 HR and 358 RBI, and he led the league with 44 doubles last year.

He is currently in his walk year and remains unsigned, which means it is very likely he'll be up for grabs in the offseason and headed to a new club. We'll keep tabs on him whatever the case.

Here's a career update for all of the players featured to this point.

Hitters

Pitchers

EDIT: In the final week of the regular season, Herman has the best game of his career belting 3 solo HR against the BYs. Nice timing for an impending FA.
