Losing out on almost four years of Baseball service due to World War II, Hank Greenberg still managed to be a two-time American League MVP and a four-time Home Run Champion.  Greenberg was an incredible slugger, posting eight seasons where he eclipsed .600 in Slugging and his incredible Slash Line of .319/.414/.616 is nothing short of incredible.  Greenberg is also a two-time World Series Champion.

The longtime Shortstop for the Detroit Tigers, Alan Trammell spent almost as much time on the Hall of Fame ballot as he did with the Tigers.  The career Detroit Tiger was the MVP of the 1984 World Series; a team that had one of the best seasons in modern history.  

Amazingly it took well over three decades before a player from the 1984 World Series Championship team to make the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Even more incredible is that Lou Whitaker never made it past the first ballot.

Harry Heilmann benefited from Ty Cobb’s guidance (you see, someone did!) and was one of the smoothest hitters of the 1920’s.  Heilmann would win the Batting Title four times (all with an average over .390) and the lowest he hit that decade was .328.  While he was not exactly part of the power boom of the 20’s, he still finished in the top five in Slugging six times and exceeded the 1.000 plateau in OPS five times.
