The history of baseball is littered with players that could have been great but for one reason or another he doesn't pan out. A generation or two, no body has heard of him.

I was doing a historical sim starting in 1952, because that's the year my dad was born, with my Pirates and came across a young 19 year old named Ron Necciai. He had an amazing stuff rating. I thought, "who is this guy and why is he rated so high?" I looked at his real life stats page and saw he only had one MLB season. I searched him on google and this guy struck out 27 batters in one game in the minors in 1952! He had health issues that prevented him from continuing his career.

So what are some other interesting players across the ages?

A side question, How do you import a historical player into your game. I see the option under create fictional player but when I click it, I don't know what file to choose and where it is.
