The reason we see such a disparity between the # of players represented, I feel, is due to the level of the Minor Leagues the teams represented.

The American Association and Eastern (later became the International) Leagues were the top leagues of the minors at the time (The PCL was also at this level but they had their own set -- Obaks). Essentially, they would be similar to the AAA teams of today. The other leagues represented (like the Texas, Virginia, etc.) were a level or two below the two aforementioned leagues. They would probably be the equivelent of a AA or possibly a A team in todays game.

The ATC probably just decided to represent the higher minor leagues more-so than the lower minor leagues.
