I'm not a Yankees fan, but it seems obvious to me that they've got the most future Cooperstown inductees.
There are four current Yankees who are likely to go in as first-ballot HOFers:
1) Alex Rodriguez
2) Derek Jeter
3) Mariano Rivera
4) Randy Johnson
Add to those four guaranteed HOFers two other strong possibilities, in Mike Mussina and Bernie Williams. Both have been excellent players for a sustained period of time, and I think they both have a shot down the road depending on their ballot competition.
I don't see how anyone can seriously pick the Red Sox. Manny is guaranteed, and Schilling has a good shot. As for the others?
1) David Ortiz - He didn't become even a "very good" player until the age of 29. Considering that, he'd need another 6-7 good years to have any shot, which means he'd have to sustain this level until he's in his late-30s. Possible, but not likely.
2) Jason Varitek - A .270 career average and 128 homers. Wow - look out, Johnny Bench! I can't believe someone would even suggest him as a possibility.
3) Jonathan Papelbon - Great so far, but he's a 26-year-old with barely 60 appearances. A little premature on this one?
If I was going to pick another team to challenge the Yankees, I'd go with the Mets - Pedro and Glavine are in, Delgado might have a shot, Beltran has a chance, and David Wright is a long-term consideration.

first of all, there are youngsters who must be corridor of Famers, yet there is not any way of understanding yet (Evan Longoria, Hanley Ramirez, some cutting-edge call up you do no longer understand, yet will!). As such, right this is my checklist of gamers who 'ought to' finally end up being corridor of Famers: Alex Rodriguez Albert Pujols Chipper Jones Jim Thome Derek Jeter Jim Edmonds Ivan Rodriguez Manny Ramirez Scott Rolen Andruw Jones Vladimir Guerrero Bobby Abreu Todd Helton Carlos Beltran Ichiro Suzuki Roy Halladay Mariano Rivera Andy Pettitte Johnny Damon Roy Oswalt CC Sabathia Omar Vizquel Adrian Beltre Miguel Tejada Joe Mauer Chase Utley Ryan Howard Magglio Ordonez Miguel Cabrera Johan Santana Will all of them get in? No. Are there gamers energetic now who're no longer in this checklist yet would be inducted into the corridor of repute? actually.

Mets - Delgado, Glavine and Pedro
Yankees - Jeter, A-Rod, Sheffield, Johnson, Rivera
Astros - Clemens, Biggio, Bagwell (he's still under contract)
Cardinals - (Long Shots) Pujols, Edmonds, Rolen
Yankees have 4 almost guaranteed. Possibly 5 if you think Giambi has a chance.

Saint Louis Cardinals Pujols Edmonds and Rolen. But if you said hall of famers and just hall of famers that would still be cardinals because of ozzie smith and all the other players on the out field wall.
