Frank Robinson didn't win a Heisman, didn't almost kill Brian Bosworth on a MNF game, didn't spiderman up the wall at Memorial Stadium, didn't throw Harold Reynolds out at home flat footed from left field, didn't lead off an all-star game with a home run followed by a Nike shoe campaign that was still quoted 30 years later and wasn't the best video game athlete of all time.

I love Frank, but he falls short in a lot of areas when comparing him to Bo Jackson.

He did flip over a wall robbing a home run at Yankee Stadium, though.  https://www.mlb.com/video/robinson-robs-white-of-home-run
 

And hit a ball entirely out of Memorial Stadium, the only one ever to do it.

Given what most think about him, I am going to have to throw in Adam Frazier for the nomination.  Certainly not great, but he has most definitely been grossly underrated.

He isn't the most underrated I don't think. I would second Grich.  But he has not really been appreciated for all of the obvious reasons.
