It seems strange that Chech was not replaced by Frank Arellanes or Eddie Cicotte, either of whom was more prominent on the Sox pitching staff. I mean it's not like they were in need of a proper depiction for those two players, since they already were re-using the images of the E91-A Giants.

Todd, that is interesting about the Chech and Karger in the E91C set...one would think that the trade of Chech away from the Red Sox would have triggered his ouster from the set, since the Red Sox's acquisition of Karger got Karger included (sometime after the July 26th trade).
