Gil is a good point. How about Yogi or Joe Torre, if he eventually makes it? Also, how about Stengel? While he was a good player with some moments in the spotlight, he is in the Hall on the strength of his managerial career. Should a HOF collection have him as a player or as a manager? Just asking, not really sure if I have a strong opinion one way or another. I guess I do tend to agree that a HOF collection should probably include cards as a manager or as a player depending on why they were inducted, such as a T206 McGraw. Hugh Jennings is an interesting case, since he had a HOF-calibre playing career and then had considerable success as a manager as well.
