Has always seemed to me that they are underappreciated in the hobby. They may not be in the upper upper tier of important baseball players in the 20th century, but they are certainly extrordarily important figures. Maybe they are too close to recent memory to have that aura of the 27 Yankees and other great players? Or they lived recently enough that many of us remember them and their personalities, warts and all. Or maybe people disagree. Just feels to me that, as Rodney used to say, they get no respect. Or not enough respect.
