I highly agree with Bill Dinneen. Extremely overlooked.
-Pitched a no-hitter in '05 -Led the AL in saves in '03 and '07 -Stole the pennant of the Highlanders in the last game of the season (beating Jack Chesbro and his 41-win season in a pitching duel in '04) -Pitched very well in the '03 series with a 3-1 record and pitching 11 strikeouts in Game 2 -Jimmy Collins listed him in the best 6 pitchers he had ever seen (with WaJo, Joss, Chesbro, Young and Ed Walsh -4 20-win seasons (plus one in '87 in the minors) -40 consecutive seasons in the majors (as player and umpire). -Umpired the first half of the first AS game, plus 8 different WS and 5 no-no's. -Ban Johnson (in a letter to Babe Ruth) said "Dinneen was one of the greatest pitchers the game ever produced" and "He is one of the cleanest and most honorable men baseball ever fostered" Rant over  Hurry up Cooperstown
