My big two, Roberto Clemente and Robin Yount. Two greats in their time, under-appreciated to an extent, both members of the 3,000 hit club, and both played their entire career for one small market team. Three MVPs between them, spectacular in the World Series, and absolutely adored, Clemente in Latin America and Pittsburgh, and Yount across the entire state of Wisconsin.
Their rookie cards are iconic ('55 Clemente and '75 Yount). Clemente's last card was 1973, so collecting their master sets, I have a beautiful example of every set from 1955 to 1994 (except for 1974), Yount's last year.
