Ty Cobb
Hal Chase (Not a favorite, but he was such I dark character I always follow how he does when he can't throw Games)
Walter Johnson
Christy Matthewson and Mordecai Brown-Great rivalry IRL, but Brown never seems to do much in my Historical Sims and Matty is hit and miss.
Joe Jackson
Rube Waddell-Another really intriguing character
Jake St Vrain-who always seems to do much better than in RL

From more recent times
Mark Fidrych and Joe Charboneau-Two guys that seemed destined for greatness that injuries cut down.

One interesting note regarding Historicals.
I am simming a complete history from 1871 to bring back my old "Notes from an alternate reality" dynasty from a couple years back.....Cy Young was taken as the first overall pick by Chicago, went 1-1 his Rookie Season and never pitched again, no injuries, just didn't fit into the plans of the White Stockings and retired. With a decline of 514 in victories, he is definitely the biggest bust I've ever had.
