Hall of Famer
At least 31 players drafted in the Rule 5 draft have made the All-Star team in at least one season.

But only player ever selected in a Rule 5 draft is in the Hall of Fame. 

Who is it?

good question. I think I heard this several years ago. Wasn't it Clemente? I know there have been several iterations of the Rule 5 and without looking things up, the earlier versions somehow or another dovetailed with the old Bonus Rule of the 1950s.
