Default Players who have no cards (or very few)

Posted By: B Hodes

I came up with some interesting people after I posed the initial question -- please corect me if I'm wrong on any of these (I am excluding cabinets and the like):
Louis Soxegleseas (SP) --- (American Indian with great potential who died a sad early death)
Tommy Bond, Will White and Davy Force (19th Century stars before Old Judge)
Josh Gibson, "Cool Papa" Bell, Rube Foster and all too many Negro League legends;
Ed Barrow (HOF) -- before becoming the Yankees' GM he did manage a major league team but no cards nonetheless;
Pete Gray (recently deceased) one-armed player during WWII;
Eddie Gaedel (an even higher lifetime on base percentage than Barry Bonds has this year);
Jesse Burkett (HOF) (only 1 card as a Major Leaguer -- and only one of that one card exists although I've never seen it!).
