I think Larry Doyle is criminally under-rated and largely forgotten by most people. He was the best offensive second baseman of the National League during his career. When Doyle retired he was the National League career leader for all second basemen in slugging, hits, doubles, triples, total bases and extra base hits. In 1915 he was also the first second baseman to win the National League batting title since 1876. I don't understand how he wasn't elected to the HOF by his peers.
