A few who I haven't seen named:
Mark Fidrych - remarkable rookie season, great personality and then injuries
Rocky Colavito - Great 10 year run, cult favorite, most similar to Reggie Jackson during his last decent year at the age of 33.
Denny McLain - 30 game winner, 2 Cy Youngs, amazing early career, so much potential
Ted Klu - Similar to Colavito but for a shorter period. Surprising stat to me for a power hitter like Klu. I noticed several seasons he had far more homers then he had strikeouts.
