So many names come to mind..hmmm I wanna throw one out there that has not been mentioned:
I would say Bob Feller
He missed almost 4 complete seasons! He still had 266 wins (should have had 300+ if not deployed)
struck out 2,581 batters,
won 62 percent of his decisions,
pitched three no-hitters,
12 one-hitters
44 shutouts and won a pitchers` Triple Crown (lead the league in wins, strikeouts, and Earned Run Average).
He led the league in victories six times and strikeouts seven times.
First ballot Hall of Famer with over 93% of the votes.
Hope this makes a valid case. His cards can be had for fairly cheap. He did sign a lot and his vintage stuff doesn't go for too too much.
