Injury can be tricky.
I think of guys like Doug Dravecky losing an arm. That didn’t seem to help him in the long term. Maybe it did in some odd way. Some may remember him just because if that injury.
Roy Campanella gained much publicity and increased in fame due to being paralyzed I think . He was a much better player.
I think the teams market and the talent of the player that makes the most impact.
Death:
I always think of Clemente and Munson. Both are immortalized partly because of their early deaths but also because of talent.
You see many players die too young. Most slip into history.
