Agree with Robinson, as the biggest under-appreciated star. Based on his statistics, 2 MVP's, the Triple Crown, he should probably be up there with Mantle, Mays, Aaron and Clemente.
He played in smaller markets and just seems to lack that flashy "WoW" factor.
Of the bigger stars, I've gotta mention Jimmie Foxx also. What a statistical monster this guy was. He put up Lou Gehrig type numbers without the lineup protection Lou had. I've always thought his cards were incredibly reasonable compared to many others.
