Joe Nameth Spinoff Thread: personality trumps stats. Name your examples

Reading the Nameth thread made me ponder the role personality plays in how we rate our athletes. I totally understand that media exposure, endorsements, etc, will effect the way the public views individual athletes, but it shouldn't translate to professional accolades.

Name your examples of athletes (in any sport) where their likeability got them into the Hall of Fame, pro bowls, All-Star teams, etc, despite others being more worthy.

I'll give you a case in point where flash and showmanship has been unfairly rewarded at the expense of the quiet, "just do your job" type .Consider the following example.

Wide Receiver A (tons of personality, marketed himself into a household name through television appearances, acting, sideline antics, etc.):

10 seasons played
Average yards per game- 66.6
Average 20+ yards receptions per season- 14.1
Total 1,000 yard seasons- 7
Total touchdowns in 10 seasons- 67
Career Pro Bowls- 6

Wide Receiver B (reserved, limited/no television appearances, high character, respected by peers and teammates):

9 seasons played
Average yards per game- 69.5
Average 20+ yards receptions a season- 14.6
Total 1,000 yard seasons- 6
Total touchdowns in 9 seasons- 68
Career Pro Bowls: ZERO

Note: Wide Receiver A was an awesome athlete and certainly had a few pro-bowl worthy seasons. He was marketable off the field but productive on it as well. I don't begrudge him. But for Wide Receiver B to never appear in a pro-bowl seems like an injustice.
