The only one I know off hand, other than all the pitchers, is Jackie Robinson.

Just quickly...
Larry Doby
Ray Schalk
Joe Tinker
Johnny Evers
Frank Chance
Gabby Hartnett
Phil Rizzuto
Tony Lazzeri
Ralph Kiner
Mike "King" Kelly (probably shouldn't be listed because he's a 19th century player)
I'm sure someone will come in and plug in the rest...

Forgetting the career Negro Leaguers, the pitchers, and the executives and/or managers who played some, the list is still more extensive than I would have guessed. In addition to the above, we have the vast majority of the catchers in the Hall, some 19th century guys, some guys who split their careers between the majors and the Negro Leagues, and some others. The rest of the list I compiled from baseball-reference.com:
Buck Ewing
Roger Bresnahan
Mickey Cochrane
Roy Campanella
Rick Ferrell
Ernie Lombardi
Hughie Jennings
Hank Greenberg
George Kelly
Jackie Robinson
Jimmy Collins
Freddie Lindstrom
Travis Jackson
Lou Boudreau
Tommy McCarthy
Elmer Flick
Earle Combs
Chick Hafey
Ross Youngs
Monte Irvin
Hack Wilson
I wouldn't have guessed there were 31, much less been able to name them all. OTOH, I understand some frustration with the originator of the thread, whose posts remind me of someone with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
