Now, this is usually my go to name in these types of discussions, but I'll say it again. Albert Belle.

Also, Joe Torre should've been in the Hall a long time ago as a player. And the fact that Gil Hodges and Ron Santo aren't in still confuses me to this day. Mel Harder is another guy, who I'd consider one of the game's greats, especially with all that he contributed to the Cleveland Indians franchise as both a player and coach(I'd say his overall contribution is what should put his borderline career over the top).. Also, I've always believed that Dale Murphy is criminally underrated..

Amongst Negro Leaguers, I'd have to say Buck O'neil(mostly for all contributions in general), John Donaldson, Luis "Lefty" Tiant Sr. and Grant "Home Run" Johnson to start with.
