Best non-MLB Ever????

Who would you say is the best baseball player ever to never play Major League Baseball?

I've got 2: Josh Gibson, and Sadaharu Oh.

Oh hit well over 800 homers playing in Japan during his whole career, long before the current rush of Japanese ballplayers in the bigs,

Gibson was one of the most prolific hitters ever. I think Connie Mack once said that if Gibson were coming in as a rookie, and white, he could name his price. Discrimination kept him out of the majors and robbed us of one of the all time best.

What do you think?
