Once again there are 20 Hall of Famers along with Pete Rose. But, there were about 10 guys included in the set that weren't big enough stars to warrant being in the set.
Kellogg's missed another chance to create a card of Andre Dawson. He was a Rookie of the Year, runner-up for MVP, won three Gold Gloves, was stealing about 30 bases per year and he was hitting over 20 homers a year.
Dawson can't complain much since 1982 AL Rookie of the Year Cal Ripken didn't get into this set. Wade Boggs was third to Ripken in the ROY vote and he didn't get a card. Runner-up Kent Hrbek got a card somehow. NL runner-up Johnny Ray also got a card even though ROY Steve Sax didn't.
