Someone already mentioned that Bender shouldn't be on the original list (since he is in the HOF) and I will add that Bancroft is on the original list and is also in the HOF. As a replacement (although at a different position) here is Hal Trosky, who had some great years at first base with Cleveland in the 1930s, including 42/162/.343 in 1936. Despite leading the league in RBIs (and in total bases with 405) he did not make the All-Star team and finished 10th in MVP voting. Playing in the same era as Gehrig, Foxx, and Greenberg, Wikipedia says he is "widely considered one of the best players to never make an All-Star team".
