  1.     Derek Sanderson.  Derek was a very good player, as well as being the NHL’s version of Joe Namath.

  2.    George Andrie.  The Cowboys have had a galaxy of great players in their history, so it’s easy for really good players to get overlooked or forgotten.  Andrie might not be among the Cowboys elite, but he was very, very good.  He was named to five Pro Bowls and one All Pro team.

  3.     Gil Hodges.  Gil was pretty much universally respected, not just as a player and manager, but as a person.

  4.     Bill Madlock.  In three years with the Cubs Madlock hit .313-.354-339, winning two batting titles in the process.  Naturally the Cubs traded him away.

  5.     Jim Lonborg.  Jim Longborg went 22-9 during 1967 but never reached those heights again.  He did, however, reach double digits in wins six times after 1967.

  6.     Bill Brown.  Bill was a hardnosed fullback who sported one of the best crew cuts in the NFL.  He was also good enough to be named to the Pro Bowl four times in his 14 year career.

  7.     Walt Williams.  Walt had a mediocre career, but one had one of the great nicknames in the history of the game.

  8.     Mike Cuellar, Jim Palmer, Pat Dobson and Dave McNally.  Dave McNally was the slacker, pitching only 224.1 innings.  The other three pitched at least 282.  Hard to imagine.

  9.     Lydell Mitchell.  Like Franco Harris, Lydell had quite an NFL career.  Mitchell twice led the NFL in receptions and three times ran for over 1100 yards in a season.  Lydell was one of the best RBs in the NFL in the 70s.

  10.  Richie Zisk.  Richie had an OPS of .818 during a 13 year career.  He was a member of the 1977 “Southside Hitmen” White Sox during his only season in Chicago.  That team wasn’t great, but was entertaining to watch, at least on offense.
