An increase in the quantity of players has no effect whatsoever on an all-time team. The absolute greats do not lose their jobs in a smaller league; the worse players do.
As an All-Time Team, your 1893 cutoff used to dismiss the improbability is not relevant.

If anything, I see a nostalgia bias on most peoples teams. Very stacked in favor of prewar and dead ball era players.
