1991 Kellogg's All-Star Set - How Did They Choose These Players?

Here is the checklist for the 1991 Kellogg's All-Star Set.

1.  Gaylord Perry
2.  Hank Aaron
3.  Willie Mays
4.  Ernie Banks
5.  Bob Gibson
6.  Harmon Killebrew
7.  Rollie Fingers
8.  Steve Carlton
9.  Billy Williams
10. Lou Brock
11. Yogi Berra
12. Warren Spahn
13. Boog Powell
14. Don Baylor
15. Ralph Kiner

How did they end up selecting some of the best players of all time and then including a few who are not in the Hall of Fame. 

Did they cover all of the positions?  What about 2B?  Jackie Robinson, Rod Carew and Joe Morgan were probably the most likely to fit into the type of players included in this set.  Carew played almost exactly half of his games at 2B.  He also was inducted into the Hall in 1991 along with Fergie Jenkins.     

They didn't include Carew and Jenkins, but they included one player who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1991 with those two.  Do you know which player that is?  

Two players were included in the set were inducted into the Hall of Fame after this set came out.  Can you name them?

The last question is the easy one.  Two others from this set are not in the Hall of Fame.  Can you name them?

  1. I think Perry went in with Carew and Jenkins. Fingers and Carlton weren’t in yet. Not in at all Baylor and Powell
