The Giants of the 20s and 30s were absurdly over represented in the hall of fame. The 1924 Giants had the following HOFers on the roster:
Highpockets Kelly Frankie Frisch Travis Jackson Hack Wilson Ross Youngs Bill Terry Freddie Linstrom and they were managed by BOTH John McGraw and Hughie Jennings. Looking up Giants WS games. Here's game 2 of 1923: Dave Bancroft Frisch Youngs Casey Stengel (!) Kelly Jackson Babe Ruth Herb Pennock Okay, so no record there. |

Other likely candidates:
Game 1, 1927 world series: Combs Ruth Gehrig Lazzeri Hoyt Waner #1 Waner #2 (their mom must have been so proud) and Pie Traynor Game 2, 1928: Frisch Bottomly Hafey Maranville Alexander Ruth Gehrig Lazzeri Leo Durocher (playing 2B) Game 3 is the same except swap out Alexander for Haines. Okay, got it beat, game 4 1928. All of the position players above, plus Alexander and Hoyt. That's ten. 1956 game 3: Reese Snider Robinson Campanella Mantle Berra Slaughter Ford Okay, game 4 of 1928 is the best that I've got. Founds bunches world series games with eight HOFers, only one with ten so far. |

I do believe the correct answer is thirteen (13)
http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1...241PHA1928.htm In the first game of the May 24th double header the following players actually played Philadelphia Cobb, Ty Speaker, Tris Cochrane, Mickey Simmon, Al Collins, Eddie Grove, Lefty Foxx, Jimmy New York Combs, Earle Durocher, Leo Ruth, Babe Gehrig, Lou Lazzeri, Tony Hoyt, Waite In addition Both teams had HOF managers and two HOF umpires worked the game. Pennock was a Yankee but did not play.

Frank,
Thanks for reminding me about the managers & umpires. Including Miller Huggins, Connie Mack & Bill McGowan (Umpire), there were actually 18 future Hall of Famers that participated in that game. 5.68% of the total members of the HOF participated in that game. |

The 1924 Giants were loaded with HOFers, however, this is the year the Senators won their only championship. These 12 HOFers played in both Games 1 and 7 of the 1924 World Series:
Senators-4: WaJo, Bucky Harris, Rice, & Goslin. Giants-8: Fritsch, T. Jackson, Terry, Kelly, Youngs, Lindstrom, Hack Wilson, & Southworth. |

Quote:
Bill James attributes Frankie Frisch's tenure on the Veterans Committee to the glut of Giants and Cardinals teammates who were elected. He was very loyal. -

The Frisch Effect - from Wikipedia:
A number of years after Frisch left the playing field as a manager, he became a member of the Hall of Fame's Committee on Baseball Veterans, which is responsible for electing players to the Hall of Fame who had not been elected during their initial period of eligibility by the Baseball Writers; he later became chairman of the committee. In the years just prior to his death, a number of Frisch's Giants and Cardinals teammates were elected to the Hall; some notable writers, chiefly among them Bill James, have criticized these selections including Jesse Haines, Dave Bancroft, Chick Hafey, Rube Marquard, Ross Youngs and George Kelly which include some of the most widely questioned honorees in the Hall's history. Critics have complained that many of these selectees had accomplishments which were less outstanding than those of other players who were bypassed, and were only selected because of Frisch's influence.

I think the 1971 All Star Game may have set the record for HOFers.
That's the one perhaps most famous for Reggie Jackson's Blast off the light standard. Think I heard that on MLB Network a few years ago, FWIW. |

All Star games probably did have more Hall of Famers but I was referring to regular season games.
I wonder which All Star game had the most. A better question would be whether there was any All Star game that had no Hall of Famers. I would have to be one in which none of the players are active anymore. |
