Big Sam Thompson
From SABR: In 1887, Sam set a record of 203 hits, thus becoming the first man in major league history to garner more than 200 hits in a season. Sam also batted .406 and drove in 166 runners, a record that stood until Babe Ruth delivered 171 RBIs in 1921. One record that Thompson continues to hold, and which probably will never be broken, is the ratio of RBIs per game played. Sam averaged nearly one RBI per game, .923 to be exact, ahead of modern-era sluggers Babe Ruth, Hank Greenberg, Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig. Not mine (but I want one!) 39278.jpg

I interpreted it more as for guys that are forgotten, and many don't even know are in the Hall of Fame. Here's a guy that no one ever talks about. He hit .340 or better 4 times, and is an unheralded Hall of Famer.
Plus, he has a super cool T206 Card in which the sky looks like it's on fire...

Besides being one of my favorite T206 portraits so I wanted to post it, when was the last time you heard anything about Ed Walsh?
