Hell, he could go straight for the "eight men out" plus Attell and Geddeon.(there's 10)

Banned players had crossed my mind before as a supplemental collection. Great idea Gary..

Also in sticking with the HOF theme. Eight former MLB players have been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Red Badgro, Paddy Driscoll, George Halas, Greasy Neale, Ernie Nevers, Ace Parker, Deion Sanders and Jim Thorpe. plus maybe the Heisman winners who also played in the majors. Janowicz and Jackson(there's another 10)

In a nutshell, I am looking for those individuals that most dominated their era or were most important to the game of baseball. That criteria definitely excludes otherwise famous people like Jim Thorpe and definitely includes people like Pete Rose & Joe Jackson.
