How about Satchel Paige? Especially in recent years, everything vintage at least is pure molten fire.

Satchel Paige fame is that he is a tall tale, a Chuck Norris. No story sounds unrealistic. And then, well past his prime, he is signed and helps the 48 Indians win a championship. All the public schools teach about Jackie Robinson, and have taught about him for decades. He became more famous with his movie. Kids who like baseball who do any research about Robinson and the Negro leagues are going to discover Paige. And then they discovered that his cards and photos were super cheap, much cheaper than Jackie.
Monte Irvin, Larry Doby, and a few others don't carry the legendary weight that Paige carries.
Bo Jackson carries that legendary status too.
