Greg EcklundDidn't someone have a sign in '61 that said: Frick - Up Your Asterisk?
Sisler was a fantastic player though, and it's good that more people are taking notice of what he did through following Ichiro. If memory serves, Sisler was struck with a terrible sinus infection while in the prime of his career (must have been 1923 from looking at baseball-reference.com as he sat out the whole season). The sinus infection damaged his eyesight and his hitting was never the same - it struck the season after he hit .420, so there's no telling what his career average should have been had he been healthy.
