Toad Ramsey and Count Campau from the 1890's for me.

Ramsey seems to always become the Koufax of that era, and I'd never even heard of him before OOTP. Same thing with Campau, who deserves the Hall of Fame for his nickname and moustache if for nothing else. Campau, who had an eerily modern-day stat line for a few years, usually has a four-five year run where he dominates the HR, SB, and 3B leader boards before fading out.

One of the great side benefits of this game is discovering these long-forgotten players and adding to ones historical appreciation of other days.
