2B Bill Mazeroski mazerbi01
I know he is a hall of famer, however he was never an AMAZING player. really only known for two things. his very reliable glove and possibly the greatest home run in baseball history. As many know, Maz hit a walkoff home run in game 7 of the world series against the yankees |

I've always been a big fan of high walks players; they're invariably underrated. So with that in mind:
hattesc01, 2002, Scott Hatteberg, 1B thomaro01, 1901, Roy Thomas, OF huggimi01, 1910, Miller Huggins, 2B bishoma01, 1929, Max Bishop, 2B dunnad01, 2008, Adam Dunn, OF/1B bellhma01, 2004, Mark Bellhorn, 2B Probably too good, but still stanked01, 1951, Eddie Stanky, 2B cullero01, 1947, Roy Cullenbine, 1B : this is the year that caused him to be released by his team for batting 224, even though he OBPd 401 applilu01, 1948, Luke Appling, 3B/SS : would be a lot more popular historically if the White Sox in his era weren't complete rubbish tenacge01, 1980, Gene Tenace, C/1B : Hall of Famer by the SABRmetrics belanma01, 1977, Mark Belanger, SS : not a great walker, but he's like 90% of Ozzie Smith |

This one, is much more recent than others, but I still think he is deserving.
navada01, 2013, Daniel Nava, OF Nava batted .303 with a .385 OBP while starting over 100 games that year. He was key piece to that magical 2013 season, and often goes overlooked. |

cheneto01, Tom Cheney, 1962, SP
Was never really any good, but on one day in 1962, he threw 16 innings, 228 pitches, and struck out 21 batters, which happened to be 14% of all the strikeouts he had that year. |

One I learned about as a child
"One Armed" Pete Gray of the St. Louis Browns
Only played 1 year & accumulated 253 plate appearances & batted only .218 & unbelievably he only struck out 11 times but prolly had more guts than any of us....Because he played with 1 arm. Debuted at age 30 in CF & batted & threw left handed because all he had was his left arm' graype01 1945 Pete Gray OF |
