How about Jim Thorpe as a baseball player.......

The rest of the Black Sox, including the manager, Kid Gleason. Various Cuban and Negro leaguers who haven't made the HOF.

A few who I haven't seen named:

Mark Fidrych - remarkable rookie season, great personality and then injuries

Rocky Colavito - Great 10 year run, cult favorite, most similar to Reggie Jackson during his last decent year at the age of 33.

Denny McLain - 30 game winner, 2 Cy Youngs, amazing early career, so much potential

Ted Klu - Similar to Colavito but for a shorter period. Surprising stat to me for a power hitter like Klu. I noticed several seasons he had far more homers then he had strikeouts.

Riggs Stephenson - Incredible hitter, but a college football injury nagged him too much for him to be a fulltime player.
