How about this guy?
One for the type set?.....Here's my choice.
Pitcher, catcher, infielder or outfielder?? I don't know. The card is a keeper because of his name. Last edited by leaflover; 06-26-2011 at 11:18 PM. Reason: Clarity

From the Old Judge Set...
I am always amazed at how fervently collectors pursue and generously they pay for the cards of Billy Sunday and John Francis "Phenomenal" Smith considering how truly pedestrian their careers were.

Glenn Hubbard
All collecting kids from my generation think of this 1984 card when we hear Glenn Hubbard's name mentioned.

I like Wagner as an answer, but I think Pafko has him beat. Only the hard-corest of baseball fans will remember AP at this point, and as they age and pass on that memory will wither even more. Wagner will always be an all time great, and serious baseball fans, at least, will know of him as a player first.
Consider how the Pafko card has been immortalized by the movie Cop Out, as bad as it was. The card was a vehicle for the whole silly plot. Last edited by xdrx; 07-05-2011 at 11:28 PM.

Re: Mr. Sunday
No doubt the lifestyle of professional baseball players in that era had a lot to do with driving Billy Sunday into the profession for which he is best known.
According to accounts of the time he did have some skills that were baseball-worthy (such as his speed), but had he never become a preacher I don't think his cards would get nearly the attention they do.
