Also, it is very likely that France will join the list in a few years as well.

I'll take guesses as to who that likely future hall of famer is.

There is no one born in France that could make it as a player. Bruce Bochy could make it as a manager but that may be close. Even though he won three Worlds Series and Manager of the Year once, his overall won/loss record is below .500 and his post season record is barely above .500.

True, but in both the regular season and the postseason he has a better winning % than Connie Mack. And the more important point may be that every manager with 3 or more WS titles is in the Hall (except for Bochy so far).

Yep, that's who I was thinking of.
