Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth in my opinion have the biggest long-term upside. These two are the only ones I would say transcend the sport of baseball. These are the names kids learn in history class. I think most collectors here wildly overestimate how many average people could even tell you who Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were, let alone recognize their 1952 Topps card. I think those HOFs will always have a solid market regardless if people are still alive that have seen them play, just like Cobb, Gehrig, etc. but Ruth and Jackie will always be king in my opinion.
