https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sal_Fasano
Jeff Pearlman of ESPN.com said of Fasano: "When I think of Sal Fasano, however, I think of greatness. Not of Willie Mays or Ted Williams greatness, but of a uniquely excellent human being who, were class and decency the most valued standards of a career, would be the easiest Hall of Fame inductee of all time."[2]

In eleven major league seasons as a backup catcher Fasano is deficient on the two stats criteria but apparently he crushes the four character criteria.
