Default Most underated HOFers in the hobby?

He was right up there in the top few about 20-25 years ago but has done little over time. Others:

--Grove: One of the 4-5 best pitchers, ever, yet little respect in many issues.
--Hubbell: the NL pitcher of the 1930s; quite a few high grade issues of the 1930's available for $100-$200.
--Sisler: until the past year with Ichiro, no one really thought about how good this guy really was. Had the bad luck to play in the 1920s-1930s and was overshadowed by by Gehrig, Foxx and Greenberg.
--Terry: See Sisler. some critics say he hit a weak .400. Please... .400 is .400...
--Ott: for some reason, he is treated as a fluke 500 HR hitter...
--Heilmann: OK, one of my pet players, but 4 batting titles and a .342 BA.
--Lefty O'Doul I know, I know...


And some overrated ones:
--Hack Wilson
--Dizzy Dean
--George Kelly
--Harry Hooper
