Tony Phillips never made an All-Star team, and he only had one year where he received votes for an MVP (16th in 1995). Yet, here we have a player worth talking about among some of those worth a Hall of Fame look.
From the deadball era, Jesse Tannehill is one of the unsung pitchers from that time.
Bob Friend played most of his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1951-63), where he quietly had one of the better decades of the National League's Pitchers.
One of the most underrated players was Brian Giles, who played for three mediocre teams (Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and San Diego) and did not see as much love as he should have.
