OK I'll guess that somewhere in the 30s he overlapped with Rick Ferrell.

Rick Ferrell is correct. Not quite that many in total though...

I think my last guess is Joe Cronin who probably was managing that wartime Red Sox team. No recollection of managers in Detroit and Chicago. He probably did some brief stints with a couple of other teams and that's where the missing names are coming from but not sure.

Yes on Cronin. Missing several from teams already mentioned as well as others...

I can't think of anyone else on Phila or Detroit. White Sox, maybe Faber was still there, did he pitch that long?

I missed a trivia question on Monday afternoon, and the answer to it was 23, so I'm going to guess 23 this time.

Deducing #’s I say 26.

Just picked up a few late 30s programs where he was on the Senators and Braves, so I’m pretty sure Casey Stengel and Bucky Harris were 2/3 of the managers missing...

Bingo on those two.

It's 25 total.

Still missing one manager and five players, though again, one of the players should get an asterisk.

Also would Jocko Conlan count? I also picked up a 1935 White Sox program and I believe Conlan and Simmons played together that year.
