Living Members of the Baseball Hall of Fame, 2026 Edition

As with the overall list, a player is counted as a Hall-of-Famer with the team if he played at least 4 seasons with them. However, there will be the occasional exception. Teams are ranked in order of most HOFers.

If there is a tie, it will be broken by which team has more players, as opposed to those who were elected in other categories. 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 will be ranked behind current teams with the same number, regardless of composition.

Players are listed in chronological order of when they arrived at the club, then managers, then broadcasters.

1. New York Yankees, 10: Reggie Jackson, Rich "Goose" Gossage, Dave Winfield, Wade Boggs, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Mike Mussina, CC Sabathia, Joe Torre (manager), Tony Kubek (played for the Yankees but elected as a broadcaster).

2. Chicago White Sox, 9: Luis Aparicio, Goose Gossage, Carlton Fisk, Harold Baines, Frank Thomas, Tim Raines, Jim Thome, Tony LaRussa (manager), Ken Harrelson (broadcaster).

3. Atlanta Braves, 9: Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Chipper Jones, Fred McGriff, Andruw Jones, Bobby Cox (manager), Joe Torre (manager), John Schuerholz (general manager).

4. Boston Red Sox, 8: Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, Jim Rice, Dennis Eckersley, Wade Boggs, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, Ken Harrelson (broadcaster).

5. Baltimore Orioles, 8: Luis Aparicio, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken, Roberto Alomar, Harold Baines, Mike Mussina, Jon Miller (broadcaster).

So, on players alone: Yankees 8, White Sox 7, Red Sox 7, Orioles 7, Braves 6. Either way, it is surprising to think of the White Sox, a team that's won 3 World Series in 121 tries, being 2nd on this list. However, only Aparicio and Thomas get thought of as White Sox before any other team.

6. New York Mets, 7: Nolan Ryan, Jeff Kent, Mike Piazza, Carlos Beltrán, Tom Glavine, Pedro Martinez, Joe Torre (manager). But only Piazza will be mainly remembered as a Met -- and even then, he spent more time elsewhere, and nearly as much time just with the Dodgers. So ESPN's Don LaGreca was right: The Mets don't have that "forever player."

7. St. Louis Cardinals, 7: Steve Carlton, Jim Kaat, Ted Simmons, Ozzie Smith, Lee Smith, Scott Rolen, Tony LaRussa (manager).

8. Seattle Mariners, 6: Edgar Martinez, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr., Adrián Beltré, Ichiro Suzuki, Pat Gillick (executive).

9. Philadelphia Phillies, 6: Jim Kaat, Steve Carlton, Mike Schmidt, Scott Rolen, Jim Thome, Pat Gillick (executive).

10. Cincinnati Reds, 6: Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, Barry Larkin, Ken Griffey Jr., Scott Rolen, Marty Brennaman (broadcaster).

Montreal Expos, 6: Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Larry Walker, Pedro Martinez, Vladimir Guerrero, Dave Van Horne (broadcaster). 

11. San Diego Padres, 9: Dave Winfield, Ozzie Smith, Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage, Trevor Hoffman.

12. Minnesota Twins, 5: Jim Kaat, Tony Oliva, Rod Carew, Bert Blyleven, Joe Mauer.

13. Los Angeles Angels, 5: Nolan Ryan, Rod Carew, Reggie Jackson, Bert Blyleven, Vladimir Guerrero. 

14. Chicago Cubs, 5: Billy Williams, Ferguson Jenkins, Lee Smith, Andre Dawson, Greg Maddux. Ryne Sandberg died last year.

15. Milwaukee Brewers, 5: Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Rollie Fingers, Ted Simmons, Bud Selig (owner).

16. Texas Rangers, 5: Ferguson Jenkins, Nolan Ryan, Iván Rodríguez, Adrián Beltré, Eric Nadel (broadcaster).

17. Houston Astros, 4: Nolan Ryan, Craig Biggio, Jeff Bagwell, Billy Wagner.

18. Detroit Tigers, 4: Jack Morris, Alan Trammell, Iván Rodríguez, Jim Leyland (manager).

Oakland Athletics, 4: Reggie Jackson, Rollie Fingers, Dennis Eckersley, Tony LaRussa (manager).

19. Los Angeles Dodgers, 4: Sandy Koufax, Mike Piazza, Adrián Beltré, Jamie Jarrin (broadcaster).

20. Toronto Blue Jays, 4: Fred McGriff, Roberto Alomar, Pat Gillick (executive), Tony Kubek (broadcaster).

21. Kansas City Royals, 4: George Brett, Carlos Beltrán, John Schuerholz (executive), Denny Matthews (broadcaster).

22. San Francisco Giants, 3: Juan Marichal, Jeff Kent, Jon Miller (broadcaster).

23. Colorado Rockies, 2: Larry Walker, Todd Helton.

24. Cleveland Guardians, 2: Jim Thome, CC Sabathia.

25. Pittsburgh Pirates, 2: Bert Blyleven, Jim Leyland (manager). Blyleven was only a Pirate for 3 seasons, but I'm bending the rule because he was a key cog on their last World Championship team in 1979. That a team with 9 Pennants and 5 World Championships has only 1 living player in the Hall of Fame, and that I had to bend the rule for him, should tell you how poorly the franchise has been run the last 47 years.

26. Miami Marlins, 2: Jim Leyland (manager), Dave Van Horne (broadcaster). 

27. Arizona Diamondbacks, 1: Randy Johnson.

28. Tampa Bay Rays, 1: Fred McGriff.

29. Sacramento Athletics, none in 1 season.

30. Washington Nationals, none in 21 seasons.
