Julie: Geez, yourself!

I had to draw the line somewhere, and if I did NOT only collect PLAYERS, then I would have to try and find cards for these dozens of people that I have NO DESIRE to collect:

Al Barlick Umpire
Nestor Chylak Umpire
Jocko Conlan Umpire
Tom Connolly Umpire
Billy Evans Umpire
Cal Hubbard Umpire
Bill Klem Umpire
Bill McGowan Umpire
Walter Alston Manager
Sparky Anderson Manager
Leo Durocher Manager
Rube Foster Manager
Bucky Harris Manager
Miller Huggins Manager
Tommy Lasorda Manager
Joe McCarthy Manager
Bill McKechnie Manager
Frank Selee Manager
Casey Stengel Manager
Earl Weaver Manager
Ed Barrow Pioneer/Executive
Morgan Bulkeley Pioneer/Executive
Henry Chadwick Pioneer/Executive
Happy Chandler Pioneer/Executive
Ford Frick Pioneer/Executive
Warren Giles Pioneer/Executive
Will Harridge Pioneer/Executive
William Hulbert Pioneer/Executive
Ban Johnson Pioneer/Executive
Larry MacPhail Pioneer/Executive
Lee MacPhail Pioneer/Executive
Branch Rickey Pioneer/Executive
Bill Veeck Pioneer/Executive
George Weiss Pioneer/Executive
Tom Yawkey Pioneer/Executive

None of these people PLAYED their way into the Hall of Fame ... so I don't collect their cards. Just my choice.
