Greenberg's first season was '33 so I can give Goudey a break for missing him. Appling was in his 3rd season so a bit more established. Either way it would be great to have each of them as well as Johnson as a manager in the set.
Some of the strange selections such as Speaker may have been include players from more regions across the country to pique interest.
As a side note, Appling missed '44 and most of '45 due to military service, probably would have made the 3,000 hit club if he played those seasons.
