I recall the last three players listed on the Street & Smith All-Time List were Al Simmons (307), Rogers Hornsby (301) and Chuck Klein (300) - al least, that's where they finished listing retired players, followed by active players with less.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I seem to recmember Sievers occupying the place just above Simmons.

He was tied for 19th with Joe Adcock when he retired
