MLB Teams With the Most Hall of Famers

The only place for these baseball legends was Cooperstown. Here are the Hall of Famers for every major league franchise.

Every Major League Baseball franchise has its legends — the best to play the game. Some of those legends end up in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Others still are waiting for the call to Cooperstown.

As of the 2022 induction ceremony, the Hall of Fame has 341 elected members, including 269 former major league players, 40 executives/pioneers, 22 managers and 10 umpires.

In 2001, the Hall of Fame began to designate a “primary team” for inductees who played on multiple teams. In most cases, a player is enshrined with the cap of their choice, or desired “primary team,” but sometimes, the Hall goes against a player’s wishes and decides where the player “made his most indelible mark” on the game.

As a result, some players have a different “primary team” than the cap they are wearing on their Hall of Fame plaque. And some players have no logo on their plaque at all.

Here are the Hall of Famers for every Major League Baseball franchise, based on the team they represent on their plaque in Cooperstown.

Note: A player/manager, manager or executive are marked with an asterisk.

Miami Marlins — 0

Gary Sheffield has the best Hall of Fame argument for a Marlin, but his ties to the steroid era almost guarantee he won’t get in.

Looking a long, long ways into the future, former Marlin Giancarlo Stanton may have a Cooperstown case one day. But would he go in with the Marlins?

Tampa Bay Rays — 0

The Hall of Fame used to let players who were on multiple teams pick which team’s hat they wore on their Hall of Fame plaque in Cooperstown.

That changed after Tampa allegedly tried to pay Wade Boggs to go in as a Devil Ray.

Boggs, who played his last two major league seasons in Tampa Bay, has a Red Sox cap on his plaque. Evan Longoria, who know plays for the San Francisco Giants, could be the Rays’ best bet for a Hall of Famer now.

Two players in Rockies history have made cases for being in the Hall of Fame: injury-prone outfielder Larry Walker and first baseman Todd Helton.

Both players received little support from the voting committee because common thinking was that Denver’s thin air inflated their numbers.

That all changed in 2020 when Walker became the first player in Rockies history to make the Hall of Fame.

Vladimir Guerrero was the first player to be inducted as an Angel.

The current roster has two surefire Hall of Famers: outfielder Mike Trout, who almost certainly will go in as an Angel, and first baseman Albert Pujols, who certainly will go in with the St. Louis Cardinals.

George Brett was a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 1999, grabbed 98.2 percent of the vote and was the only player to win batting titles in three different decades.

He also coined the term “Mendoza Line” for players who hit .200 or below and was the star of one of baseball’s greatest controversies — the “Pine Tar Incident.”

The Spiders went defunct in 1899 — the year after Cy Young left the team.

He’s still Major League Baseball’s career wins leader with 511, which is 94 ahead of Walter Johnson.

One year after Young made it to the Hall of Fame in 1937, MLB named the yearly award for the best pitcher after him.

Roberto Alomar became the first Blue Jay to enter the Hall of Fame in 2011.

The second baseman played for eight teams in 17 seasons, and his five-year stint in Toronto was the longest with any one team.

A career .300 hitter, Alomar contributed to the Blue Jays’ two World Series championships, but he also had a forgettable moment when he spit on umpire John Hirschbeck in 1996.

In December 2022, Fred McGriff made it to Cooperstown in the Class of 2023 as a unanimous choice among the 16 members of the inaugural contemporary baseball era committee, which considered players whose primary contributions to the game took place after 1980.

McGriff, 59, starred for six different clubs during his 19-year career. He was a five-time All-Star, hit 493 homers and collected 2,493 hits while finishing in the top 10 of MVP balloting in six different seasons, including each season from 1989 to 1993.

McGriff hit 30 or more homers in a season for five different franchises, including the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, Atlanta Braves, Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs. He helped the 1995 Braves team win the World Series, homering twice in the Fall Classic against Cleveland.

The Rangers signed catcher Ivan Rodriguez when he was just 16 years old, and he’s the youngest player to catch a major league game at 19.

Pitcher Nolan Ryan owned the Rangers and served as team president after his playing days, but he sold his stake and now is an adviser to the owner of the Houston Astros.

Recently retired Adrian Beltre could add to this list, but the potential Hall of Famer played for multiple teams.

Tony Gwynn won a record eight batting titles and died of cancer in 2014.

Two Expos Hall of Famers, Andre Dawson and Gary Carter, publicly expressed their disappointment at being inducted with Montreal. Dawson wanted the Cubs, Carter wanted the Mets.

Tim Raines made it in on his 10th ballot.

The franchise moved to Baltimore in 1954, and that’s where the Orioles won their three World Series titles in 1966, 1970 and 1983. Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer was on the roster for all of the championship clubs.

The franchise went from Philadelphia, where it had six Hall of Famers (four who have no cap logos on their plaques), to Kansas City, to its current home of Oakland, where four players have made it from California to Cooperstown.

The Oakland group had amazing longevity, with 63 major league seasons between Rollie Fingers, Dennis Eckersley and Rickey Henderson.

The franchise switched coasts in 1958, breaking Brooklyn’s heart.

Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947 and played with five other Hall of Famers: Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale.

The franchise switched coasts in 1958.

The most famous Hall of Famer from exclusively the East Coast version, Christy Mathewson, started playing pro ball when he was 14 years old.

The most famous Hall of Famer who played (mostly) on the West Coast, Willie Mays, is in the conversation as the greatest ballplayer of all time.

The 1928 world champion New York Yankees featured seven future Hall of Famers alone.

Closer Mariano Rivera became the first player inducted by unanimous vote in 2019, his first year of eligibility.

Shortstop Derek Jeter, who retired after the 2014 season, was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2020.

No Logo on Cap — 64

Some of the biggest names in the history of the baseball, for one reason or another, entered Cooperstown without a logo on their cap, including Honus Wagner, who was one of the “First Five” inducted into the Hall of the Fame in 1936, along with Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson.

The 2019 class has two players with no logo on the cap: Mike Mussina and Roy Halladay.

The late Halladay pitched 12 years with the Toronto Blue Jays and four years with the Philadelphia Phillies, and his wife said he will enter the Hall of Fame without a logo on his cap out of respect for both cities.

Mussina spent his first 10 major league seasons with the Baltimore Orioles and his last eight with the New York Yankees, and felt both teams were instrumental to his success.
