Chuck Jones.

But I'd put in a plug for Hanna/Barbera -- not for their wretched cartoons of the 60s, but for their brilliant work on Tom and Jerry, probably the greatest cartoon creations ever.

For The Man, Stan Musial was the obvious choice. But Scarlett's post, omitting the Musial part, made me realize that if I was on a different kind of board, I might have said Stan Lee instead.
