Jim VB"Hornsby isn't really considered Gashouse Gang... he's long gone from the Cardinals by the time the Gashouse Gang is on the field."
Mostly correct. Gone, but not long gone. Hornsby played for the Cards in 1933 at the tail end of his career for 1/2 a season or so. Finished up that season with the Browns. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, he has 2 cards in the 1933 Goudey set. One lists him as a player with the Cards. The second lists him as the Manager of the Browns.
Most people think of the Gashouse Gang as starting around 1934 when Daffy came up, but the core was there before.
