Four Hall of Famers Were Born in Wisconsin

During the first round of the draft last night, someone online pointed out that two players from Wisconsin were drafted on the first day.  I don't know if this occurrence is unprecedented, but it did make me wonder how many Wisconsin natives have made it to the big leagues.

Here's a few of the names that I came across in a quick look. Feel free to add more.

Burleigh Grimes
Addie Joss
