I've thought about something similar. 2 players I came up with is Christy Mathewson and Billy Sunday. I enjoy their era, cards and character. Both set themselves apart from the others of their time and were Christians. Not the same names as your kids but solid players to collect.

Matty cultivated that image, of the good looking college man of high standards, and his teammates did love him, but he was quite a gambler. While nobody's perfect, I've always felt Walter was a better overall role model than Matty.
