I PC Sam Crawford.
I grew up in a small town around 10 minutes from Wahoo, Nebraska.
I am biased but still of the opinion he is one of the most overlooked talents of his era
For consideration, only Cap Anson, Honus Wagner and Nap Lajoie were 3000 hit club members when Crawford left the Tigers in 1917 and headed west the the PCL.
When leaving MLB in 1917 he was just 39 hits shy at 2961.
He played a few more years in the PCL and compiled a total of over 3700 hits, an impressive number indeed.
