You know, I was thinking about this. I think a good case could be made for Bill White when you consider both his career and his time a a league president.
I think the aptly named Dick Allen would statistically measure up.
Steve Garvey or Gil Hodges would make nice representatives at first base.
Tim Raines is much, much better than a number of outfielders already in the hall.
Finally, one who does not get his due is Maury Wills. He was an evolutionary player in the game. His post-career stuff hurt him, but anyone would take Maury in his prime as their shortstop.
