I'm going to throw Hal Newhouser out there. Typically a forgotten HOFer and a guy people sometimes list as a borderline player. However, he was pretty incredible for a brief amount of time and accomplished a lot that would normally have your name on people's minds a lot more:
He won 20 games four years in a row, including 29 in 1944. He also won two straight MVPs, and finished second the following year, nearly winning three MVPs in a row as a pitcher, and that stretch also included a Triple Crown. These are the only three pitchers in history to win two MVPs: Hal Newhouser, Walter Johnson and Carl Hubbell. Pretty elite company. I understand his career was pretty much over by the time he turned 29, but what a peak.
