I'm not sure I'd endorse the stingy voting practices of the writers in the mid-1940s. The guys they passed over included Lefty Grove, Carl Hubbell, Pie Traynor, Frank Frisch, Rube Waddell, Ed Walsh, Mordecai Brown, Joe McGinnitty, Charlie Gehringer, Bill Dickey, and Mickey Cochrane. What puzzles me is that all of these guys finished consistently behind Frank Chance and Johnny Evers until those two were put in by the veterans committee with Tinker.
