I'm surprised they're the only ones off that list who made it in, but both are well-deserved!

I'd put that down to the votes in 1994 having a much different view of catchers than today. Not exactly "sudden" but the product of evolving understanding of the game rather than gut feelings and the player's reputation at the time. Being an exact contemporary of Bench I'm sure didn't help, either, because the comparisons are inescapable.
I never saw Simmons play, don’t know much about him, would love to hear more views on this
