From that list, I count Andruw Jones, Wagner, Ripken, Mattingly, Banks, Valenzuela, Bagwell, Foxx, Carter, Bench, Griffey Jr., Gehrig, Rickey, Trout, and Pujols as having been bosses in the past. They likely won't be in these next 3 programs. Possible exception of Griffey since they seem to make him easier to get due to his popularity.
Also I think Al Kaline is still on the legends roster, but there hasn't been a lower card of his yet so maybe he's not in the game.

@SaveFarris_PSN
This is awesome. Thanks for putting this together. I've heard you are the true Historian of the group. I'd be curious to hear what other programs may be headed our way. Will there be a TA5 in your estimation? Last year there were 11 innings. Did the program start earlier?I love the idea of an all Willie Boss Pack. Willie Stargell is a super fun card to play with, I'd really enjoy a 99 of him.

-
Griffey was an inning boss by himself next year so I think he’s a BR or WS reward. Maybe similar to the Ruth program too

I think they give him a special program, possibly in the 7th or 8th inning, they like everyone to have him.
