Ed Reulbach heads the list for me - both John Dickson (above), and American Memorabilia (surprise, surprise) spelled his last name incorrectly (Reulback), so obviously he isn't a household name.

Joe Wood was rated on par with Walter Johnson in his prime by many of his contemporaries, but modern fans go by stats and Wood wasn't around long enough to accumulate any.

Ruth is underrated as a pitcher - you can use Ruth pitching records in trivia contests and most people don't even know he was a pitcher.

Waddell was also one of the most feared pitchers during his prime, mainly because he threw so hard and wasn't afraid to hit people like Johnson was.
