All good guesses....Grover Cleveland Alexander won 29 games for the Syracuse Chiefs in 1910 and 373 games
in Major Lge. career.

I specifically chose this guy......as he illustrates a pet peeve I have about the T206 set ballplayer selection.
The T206 designers could have portrayed more 1st cards of future stars than they did. Stengel, Hooper and
Carey are certainly good examples of this omission.

All these guys were rookie Minor Leaguers (ML) in 1910 (when ATC was designing their 86-card ML series)....
so, why didn't they include them....instead of most of the veteran players they depicted.
