My two cents-

Paige- technically debuted in the major leagues after the cut-off
Carlton, Ryan, Maddux- crafty, power, and finesse
Rickey Henderson- an all time great, and an oddball
Pee Wee Reese- On and off the field a great person and player
Richie Ashburn- one of my all time favorites
Reggie Jackson- power player and clutch
Winfield- all around great athlete and brought leadership to teams
Jeter- again, played in the spotlight with class and skill
Ichiro- still underrated, could hit anything at any time, speed, and fielding
Ken Griffey, Jr.- great during his time even when injuries took him
Cal Ripken, Jr.- ironman, tough, good glove, good bat, good brains
Koufax and Drysdale- both great
Ozzie Smith- brought flair back to the game, great fielder, decent hitter, fun
Bob Feller- nice guy, would sign and talk to anyone, oh, and he could pitch too!
Mike Schmidt- one of the greatest 3rd basemen ever.

Mickey Hatcher- determination, tough, and funny. And one of the best baseball quotes of all time..."I would rather be the worst player in the major leagues, than not be in the major leagues at all."

There are others...but my first thoughts.
