Default HOF Saturation Game

After running across this card on eBay, I thought it would be oddly cool to see how many 'regular' cards (not specials, league leaders, etc.) feature ONLY members of that sport's Hall of Fame on them. Having a pair of HOFers posing together is easy, but what about beyond that?

Rules are simple:
1) All persons appearing on the card must be identifiable.
2) All must be members of that particular sport's official Hall of Fame.
3) Managers and coaches (with some possible exceptions), etc., count.
4) Referees, umpires, and other non-game-participants are (obviously) excluded.
5) If any non-HOFer appears on the card, it is eliminated.

Edited in order to spell out the spirit of the exercise: We're looking for 'regular' cards that only feature HOFers. They must be naturally-occurring shots on cards, not team or team-type cards or the like.


Here you have Rick Barry, Willis Reed, Nate Thurmond...and like Little Jack Horner (who wouldn't have counted), we have Red Holzman in the lower right corner making his presence known...

What card can you play??*

*Yes, pun intended.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
