Ask most baseball fans to name a player who’s had the honor to be enshrined at Cooperstown and they’re likely to mention an undisputable legend like Babe Ruth or Ted Williams, a recent inductee like Rickey Henderson or Craig Biggio, or a personal favorite from their hometown team. But there are dozens of lesser-known but very accomplished players with plaques on the walls of the Hall of Fame who have been largely forgotten by modern fans. Some of these players set records that are unlikely to ever be broken.
Meet the all-time leader in triples, the home run king of the pre-Babe Ruth era, the man who couldn’t strike out, and the 19th century speedster who shares a name with one of today’s rising stars.
Here are some of baseball’s greats you may never have heard of.

There are few topics that get baseball fans more riled up than the question of who should (or should not) be in the Hall of Fame. People tend to take that shit extremely personally, as if denying your pet case for induction a plaque in Cooperstown — or giving one to an "undeserving" player ahead of him — is somehow tantamount to negating your fandom, your childhood or even your very existence as a human being.

Former Cincinnati Reds shortstop Barry Larkin is the sole player elected by the Baseball Writers Association of America for 2012. He received 495 out of 573 votes, which is 86%, well above the needed 75% for election. This was Larkin's third time on the ballot.
The ceremony will take place July 22 in Cooperstown, New York. Ron Santo, legendary Cubs third baseman who eventually lost both lower legs to diabetes, will also be inducted. Santo was voted in by the Veterans Committee back in December.
"I'm just incredibly, incredibly moved by this whole experience and so humbled by the experience and so excited about being the newest member of the Hall of Fame," says Larkin, in a conference call with the press.
Larkin was a 12-time all star, who won the Nl Mvp in 1995 and in 1996, became the first ever shortstop to have 30 home runs and 30 steals in a season. He helped the Reds win a...
