Belanger and Lolich both had too many votes to qualify.
Sabo, Fidrych and Bo Jackson didn't play enough seasons to get on the ballot. Whether that's a disqualifier or not, I'll leave up to the OP. ![]()

I believe Tim Salmon only received 5 votes then was off the ballot. As an Angels fan, it is painful he has not been brought up yet. But, he played his whole career for the Angels, so I guess it makes sense.

This breaks the rules, but Frank White. He received fewer than 4% of the vote when he was up.
Per Baseball Reference, the most similar player to Frank White is Bill Mazeroski, and the most similar player to Bill Mazeroski is Frank White. Mazeroski has a slightly higher BWAR. White has a slightly higher FWAR. But Frank did not hit a famous home run. Side note: Frank is now the executive for the Missouri county where the Royals play, and is largely seen as responsible for torpedoing a deal to build a new stadium for his former team. That should at least qualify him as ... notable.

A lot of great suggestions so far.
A couple more for the list: Jim McCormick won 265 games, had a career ERA+ of 118, but was never on a ballot. I think he also has the highest bWAR (76.2) of anyone not in the HOF that wasn't disqualified for scandal or is associated with steroids. Tony Mullane won 284 games, and had a career ERA+ of 117, but never received a vote. On the negative side, Mullane has the record for wild pitches with 343. Charlie Buffinton won 233 games to only 152 losses, and had a career ERA+ of 115, but was never on a ballot. Ed Konetchy has never appeared on a ballot. He had a career OPS+ of 123 and is 13th all-time for career triples. The best Bob Elliot ever did was 4 votes. Elliot was a 6x All Star and won an MVP. Willie Davis was never even on a Hall of Fame ballot somehow, despite putting together a nice career with over 60 bWAR. |

Mort Cooper and Cecil Travis were old school names that immediately came to mind. I feel that Travis should be in the Hall of Fame.

Speaking of Cecils, I've always been a fan of Cecil Cooper even though I didn't really see him play. Way back when he was at a show I was at once and was a really nice guy to everybody there.
Looks like he didn't a single vote. But he's a 3 time silver slugger, 5 time all star and he won the Clemente award. He drove in 120 plus runs three times, which was a pretty big deal in his time. |
