Minnie Miñoso
Great left fielder for the Chicago White Sox -- via the Chicago Tribune. AKA Saturnino Orestes Armas Miñoso Arrieta, the Cuban Comet, Mr. White Sox. A power hitter, he was fast on the bases as well, second only to Willie Mays at the time. He was also noted for standing in and getting hit by pitches. He is referenced in a notable comedy routine by Robert Klein -- One of those guys I think should be in the Hall of Fame.
