Some of the missing Browns did more than enough to merit inclusion in PT. The most egregious exclusion would probably be Ken Williams, who was the first player in the 30-30 club in 1922, a full 34 years before Willie Mays became the 2nd to do it.

There are also some great nicknames we're missing out on. Who wouldn't love to trot out players with names like Baby Doll Jacobson or Barney "The Yiddish Curver" Pelty
I had a fantasy baseball team called "Chasing Ken Williams Ghost" with his picture as an avatar several years ago. Got several "great name" compliments. He should have an unsung hero card, definitely.
