Only other HOF managers of that era I can think of is Joe McCarthy and Bill McKechnie. Did he overlap either of those two?

If it's the latter, then Ernie Lombardi.

Well, Al Lopez was on the Reds around that time, but he is in the Hall as a manager not a player? Is he one?

He is one, though he was only with Simmons on the Braves in 1939.

One more...

Right for the wrong reason. I'll take it. NO clue on the last one, probably someone who started earlier than I am thinking like very late 30s or early 40s and was a star in the late 40s into the 50s but I would just be guessing.

Right - someone who had a cup of coffee with one of his WW2 teams and went on to a post war career - like Fox or Wynn but not them

I know Simmons did some coach work with the A’s at the end of his career... did he cross paths with George Kell?

That's the last one!!

Simmons went 3 for 6 in 1944 as a member of the Philadelphia A's. Kell was there with him.

So the final impressive list is as follows:

Jimmie Foxx
Mickey Cochrane
Lefty Grove
Connie Mack
Ty Cobb
Tris Speaker
Zack Wheat
Eddie Collins
Ted Lyons
Hank Greenberg
Charlie Gehringer
Bobby Doerr
Goose Goslin
Luke Appling
Rick Ferrell
Red Faber
Bucky Harris
Casey Stengel
Jocko Conlon
Joe Cronin
Waite Hoyt
Bill McKechnie
Ernie Lombardi
Al Lopez
George Kell
