Jim Sundberg was known for his defensive skills.  So much so, that is how we wound up on this list.

Lenny Dykstra was a fan favorite, a hard-nosed baseball player whose nickname of “Nails” fit him perfectly.

Lefty O'Doul had a unique career, in that he began as a struggling Pitcher, who eked out 32 Games over five years (1918-23) on the Major League level on the mound.  These games were spent as either a New York Yankee or Boston Red Sox, but he was basically a minor league player through his 20s.  O’Doul’s 30s would be much more different.

Ken Singleton began his career with the New York Mets in 1970, where he was a backup, but there was something special there.  The Montreal Expos saw it, as they traded their most popular player, Rusty Staub, for him.
