Im with you on O'Doul and Heilmann because they aren't as widely recognized as their stats appear to indicate they deserve. I feel that I sorta "discovered" them because I "uncovered" their performance from perusing stats rather than reading narrative about them. Now, having discovered them, I soon have to read up on who they were. They seem fascinating.

However, I am still "discovering" "new" players worthy of further study. A player of recent focus from stat-land is Keeler, who has a lifetime .360+ batting average (if you do not include the period that he played too long) Oh Heilmann also hit well over .360, if you exclude his taking too long to learn how to hit; something he shares with O'Doul.

Anyway, I sometimes buy cards of these players and then try to find a way to fit them into my collection.
