baseball team with the most hall of fame players?

Answer 1

It's actually the Giants, not the Yankees, with 23 inductees. The Yankees are actually third with 15, with the Cardinals in second with 16. Here's the list: http://baseball-almanac.com/hof/hofstat.shtml

Answer 2

These numbers, courtesy of BR.com, consist of HOFers who played on teams, regardless of their role that got them elected to the Hall (example, Sparky Anderson is in as a manager, but he did play one season for the Phillies, so he counts as a Phillie honoree, and it doesn't matter that his Hall plaque shows him wearing a Reds cap). It certainly doesn't take into consideration only a player's Hall-worthy peak seasons; one game, even one bad game, is enough to count. This captures the entire history for the current 30 franchises.

Most total HOF players
Giants, 53
Braves, 44
Dodgers, 44
Cardinals, 41
Yankees, 40
Cubs, 38
Pirates, 35
and so on.

Fewest among the 16 "original" teams: Detroit, 20.

Not surprisingly, the expansion teams have the fewest total HOFers:
Mets, 9
Angels, 8
Astros, 6
Padres, 6
Brewers, 5
Royals, 4
Rangers, 3
Blue Jays, 3
Nationals, 2
Mariners, 1 (Perry)
Devil Rays, 1 (Boggs)
Diamondbacks, Rockies, Marlins, zero

Most HOFers on a single team: Yankees, with 9, five times.
1928 - Combs, Coveleski, Dickey, Durocher, Gehrig, Hoyt, Lazzeri, Pennock, Ruth. (Plus manager Huggins.)

1930 - Combs, Dickey, Gehrig, Gomez, Hoyt, Lazzeri, Pennock, Ruffing, Ruth.

1931-33 - Combs, Dickey, Gehrig, Gomez, Lazzeri, Pennock, Ruffing, Ruth, Sewell. (Plus manager McCarthy.)

The Giants (1923) and Cardinals (1933) each had eight.
