Here's a Magee to add to Derek's post. Not sure why he doesn't get more love. He was one of the top left fielders of his era both by traditional stats and by WAR (Baseball Reference has him as the 14th best left fielder of all time, ahead of several Hall of Famers and second only to Fred Clarke in the 1900-1919 period). He is actually the highest ranked left fielder not in the Hall, with the exception of steroid players and Pete Rose.
