With regards to pitching, I agree with Reulbach, Tannehill, and Phillipe, but I can always seem to think of deserving pitchers in any era more often than the sticksmiths.

For position players, I'm still on the Hal Chase bandwagon. It is hard to ignore account after account of his on-field heroics from star players of the day, the press, and national publications. I just can't imagine the "Greatest First Baseman of All Time" slogan being bandied about lightly by the likes of Ruth, W. Johnson, as well as many less famous, but no-less important contemporaries. With his often discussed "banishment" which really doesn't even seem to be true, he should at least be on the ballot.
