Reulbach makes me think of Doc White. Both #2 men on their respective Chicago staffs.

good list. early Giants, A's, Cubs, White Sox, Yankees, later Reds... good themes. in addition to many of those names, I reflexibly collect Heinie Groh and Hank Gowdy. I also add Fred Snodgrass if he comes up. He was once almost as infamous as Merkle.

As a Tiger fan, might I suggest Bobby Veach, probably the best Tiger not in the Hall of Fame.

From SABR: As the clean-up hitter on one of the strongest offensive teams of his day, Bobby Veach was one of the truly great RBI men of the late Deadball Era, easily leading the major leagues in runs driven in over the twelve years, 1913 to 1924, that he was a full time player. Veach drove in over 100 runs in a season six times, hit 30 or more doubles eight times and smacked ten or more triples ten years in a row. In all, Veach played for 14 major league seasons and hit .300 or better ten times, finishing with a lifetime .310 batting average.

Default A few more Clevelanders!

I like the addition of Mel Harder. I would also consider pitcher George Uhle and outfielder Charlie Jamieson. Uhle pitched to 200 wins in 17 seasons with Cleveland, Detroit, and New York. Jamieson had a lifetime .303 BA over 18 seasons with Cleveland, Washington, and Philadelphia. Also consider adding Ray Chapman to the list.

Colby Jack Coombs, Deacon McGuire and Deacon Phillippe are 3 of my favorite 4 non-HOFers to collect (Stovey being my 4th, already on your list).

Also add Ray Chapman to the list. His cards are always expensive.

How about Big Ed Konetchy, The Candy Kid.

Some quotes and stats from Wikipedia:

“While he was considered an above-average hitter (he batted over .300 four times) he was more known around the league for his supreme consistency, his never-faltering speed, and his high degree of defensive skill at first base.”
“By the end of 1920, he had surpassed 2000 career hits and was quite high on the all-time leaderboard (into the top 25).”
And some career highlights:
* Stole home twice on September 30, 1907 against Boston
* Broke up four no-hitters over the course of his career
* Hit two inside-the-park home runs against Brooklyn on August 5, 1912
* Picked up hits in 10 consecutive at bats in 1919, tying a record which would later be broken
* Led the league in total bases in 1915 (278)
* Made the Top 10 in the league in batting average six times (1909, 1910, 1912, 1915, 1919, 1920)
* Holds an MLB record with 4 consecutive seasons with 20 or more triples (1909-1912

Then there is this chestnut.
“In 1911, with the Cards only three games out of first place in early July, the team was involved in a train crash on its way from Philadelphia to Boston. 47 passengers were injured, while twelve died. None of the Cardinals were seriously injured, due to a pre-trip change in the location of their car to the rear of the train. Konetchy and Cards manager Roger Bresnahan led the rescue effort, carrying many passengers to safety, some of whom may have died. Despite posting their first winning season since 1901, the Cardinals never recovered from the incident, finishing a distant fifth; but Konetchy led the NL with 38 doubles, and his own team with six home runs and 88 RBIs.”

He probably gets less credit than he deserves because he played on poor teams. And though he was consistently near the top in many categories, was never the bright shining star at the very top.
