I'll add another "sleeper," and it's Willie Mays! Those who know the history of baseball know that nobody, but nobody packed them in like Willie in park after park, day games and night games, home and away. His incredible fielding prowess combined with his hitting made him the ultimate 5-tool player, and brought record attendances everywhere he went. Baseball was already on the map, but Mays took the game to another level.

And I still think baseball is going to issue an annual award in his name some day.
