I believe Hubbard is the only other person inducted into two of the four major pro sport HOFs. He was inducted as a player in the Pro FB HOF, and as an umpire in the BB HOF.

Posey was inducted as an executive (team owner of the Homestead Grays) into the BB HOF, so there is still no one inducted as a player into more than one of the four HOFs.

I knew Hubbard and Posey weren't inducted as players but induction in any capacity to two HOF in different pursuits (not overlapping such as NCAA and Pro for the same sport) is really remarkable.

I believe there are a handful of people that have won both an Oscar and a Grammy. Which would be somewhat comparable.

There are 12 people who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony:

Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, Marvin Hamlisch, Jonathan Tunick, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg, Scott Rudin and Robert Lopez.

4 others won all four, but included special or honorary awards: Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, James Earl Jones and Harry Belafonte.
