If there is a tie, it will be broken by which team has more non-managers. If there is still a tie, then I go to which has more non-broadcasters. If it's still a tie, which has more players whose contributions were mostly with that club. If it's still a tie, which team has played fewer seasons will be ranked ahead -- since, for example, 5 HOFers is more impressive for a team that's been around since 1977 than it would be for one that's been around since 1961.
Teams that no longer exist in that form will be listed in italics and in the position where they would be ranked if they still did.
Players are listed in chronological order of when they arrived at the club, then managers, then broadcasters.
1. St. Louis Cardinals, 10: Red Schoendienst, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Orlando Cepeda, Steve Carlton, Bruce Sutter, Ozzie Smith, Whitey Herzog, Tony LaRussa, Joe Garagiola.
2. New York Yankees, 10: Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Reggie Jackson, Goose Gossage, Dave Winfield, Rickey Henderson, Wade Boggs, Joe Torre, Joe Garagiola, Tony Kubek. The Cards win the tiebreaker because, while both have 7 players, the Cards have 2 managers and 1 broadcaster, while the Yankees have 1 manager and 2 broadcasters.
3. Baltimore Orioles, 8: Brooks Robinson, Luis Aparicio, Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken, Roberto Alomar, Jon Miller.

30. Colorado Rockies, none.
