In somewhat chronological order:
Deacon White
George Gore
Harry Stovey
Bobby Caruthers
Cupid Childs
Bill Dahlen
Jimmy Sheckard (seriously, look him up)
Joe Jackson
Carl Mays
(I think the time period of about 1930-60 has been pretty much covered)
Ron Santo (heartbreaking omission)
Joe Torre (Ok so I'm giving him credit for his managing too, but he's close as a player)
Burt Blyleven
Jack Morris (Shouldn't you get extra credit for post-season excellence? Isn't a win in October worth more than a win in June?)
Alan Trammel
Tim Raines (Really, he should have been a 1st ballot inductee)
Barry Larkin
Will Clark
Mark McGwire (this is a big argument starter -- save it for another thread)
Robbie Alomar (Should have been 1st ballot)
Edgar Martinez (Think of him as a great specialist like Gossage or Sutter)

--------
Non-players:
Marvin Miller
Buck O'Neill
Bill James
Tony LaRussa & Bobby Cox (when eligible)
( I think that's everyone for now)
