Another personal favorite missing is Schoolboy Rowe (yes he's in 34). He falls in the same Greenberg and Johnson category being omitted rookies.
He & Hank owned the Texas league in 32. Both getting called up to Detroit together & the rest was history, dominating his first few years and help leading the Tigers to back to back championships. Plus he was probably one of the top 5 hitting pitchers of all time.
One has to wonder how WW2 service affected his stats and chances to making it to the Hall.
Here is a signature page I came across with a bunch of early 30s Tigers, Indians & A's. Including Alva Bradley, Indians owner & Roy Van Gaflan, the unpire who was behind the plate for Ruth's called shot off Root. He claimed Ruth told the Cubs bench he would put the next one out if they threw him a strike. Then pointed to the fence to show them where.
