C - Roger Bresnahan
1B - Frank Chance
2B - Nap Lajoie (or Eddie Collins…take your pick)
SS - Honus Wagner
3B - Home Run Baker
OF - Ty Cobb
OF - Tris Speaker (replaced by Ruth if you aren’t getting too technical about the position in front)
OF - Shoeless Joe Jackson
Along the same line of thinking is the Collins-McCarthy set (E135) which would allow for Hornsby to sneak in as 1st B (as listed on the card) but you still have the problem of Ruth listed as a pitcher.

Slight problems there Rhett. Speaker is not in m101-4/5. Bresnahan and Chance are m101-5 only but Cobb is m101-4 only, so technically you can't have all. One swap I would make is Sisler for Chance at 1B in m101-4. If you want a really studly pitching staff, try m101-5, where both Ruth AND Sisler are listed as moundsmen, then you could add Walter Johnson and Grover Alexander. Not exactly the 2021 Minnesota Twins rotation, but it would do.
