Who are some of your favorite "forgotten" players?
I know there are a few Tommy Bridges and Cecil Travis fans here. I've been thinking about this for a while. Who are some of your favorite players that you wish history or hobbyists were kinder to? I don't mean HOFers, but generally good players who you wish were talked about more. If you got a card, please show it off.
I'll start:
Riggs Stephenson - career 336 hitter. I don't know what his story was or why he played in so few games, but man, could he hit.
Babe Herman - hit 381 in 1929 only to follow it up by hitting 393 in 1930. Career 324 hitter but all you usually hear about the guy was how horrible a fielder he was.
