[Seven]

EDIT: Squad modified, because I violated the rule set forth by the challenge, originally, and selected Barry Bonds as a member of my Hall of Fame Team, oh well.


Manager: John McGraw
Pitcher: Satchel Paige
Catcher: Josh Gibson
1B: Lou Gehrig
2B: Eddie Collins
3B: Mike Schmidt
SS: Pop Lloyd
RF: Babe Ruth
CF: Oscar Charleston
LF: Ted Williams

If including DH and RP

DH: Mickey Mantle
RP/CP: Mariano Rivera

My rules are simple: The player must've spent significant time at the position, and made the majority of their career contributions at said position. This also assumes the player is at the height of their power, when they are playing for the team.

I originally opted not to include a DH or a Relief Pitcher. This is mainly due to the fact that, baseball has spent more time without the Designated Hitter "position" than with it, and due to the fact that Satchel Paige would finish the game if needed! However I included Mantle and Rivera if I indeed needed to fill those positions. Based off of baseball talent, Mantle might be better off, playing left field, than Williams but I didn't want to completely violate the self imposed rule that I decided to use.
