My list is admittedly long and I'm sure I'm leaving some people off (and in no particular order)...
James Creighton (1st baseball superstar--although obviously no longevity)
Jimmy Ryan
Bill Lange (had he only played one or two more years)
Dave Orr (see Lange--but I still say Orr should be in)
Bill Dahlen
Wally Schang (how did Schalk get in over him?)
Mike Donlin
Deacon White
Tony Mullane
Jake Stenzel
Jim McCormick
Larry Doyle
George Van Haltren
Jack Stivetts
Lefty O'Doul
Carl Mays
Sherry Magee
Babe Herman
Ed McKean
Bob Caruthers
Jack Glasscock
Doc Cramer
Tip O'Neil
Pete Browning
Bobby Mathews
Dummy Hoy
Larry Corcoran
Bobby Veach
Jake Daubert
Hal Chase
Stuffy McInnis
George H. Burns
Fred Tenney
Borderline:
-Urban Shocker (b/c he died early during his career), Art Nehf & Warneke are essentially the same guy
-Wes Ferrell
-Ned Williamson
-Ezra Sutton
-Heinie Zimmerman
-Elmer Smith
-Leever & Phillippe (both are better than Willis)
-Babe Adams
-Riggs Stephenson
-Ken Williams
-Jack Fournier
-Ed Konetchy
-Joe Judge
-Charlie Grimm
-Jack Quinn
-Will White
