Connie Mack could have destroyed some records if Goudey and Topps/Bowman had thought to add him. There were the Topps Connie Mack All Stars if you wanted him in on a technicality! We do have Play Ball, though.

That leads to a new question.
Is Stengel the record holder for longest run between first and last cards for an active participant in the game (player, coach or manager)
You've got guys like Schoendienst, and Red Sox Johnny Pesky and Charlie Wagner who had 70+ years in the game but did they have a "cardspan" that matched Stengel?
