In sports, what baseball teams, either specific year, or orginization, will have, or already have, the most present, or future Hall of Famers?
I'll start. In modern day baseball, the World Champion 1995 Atlanta Braves, will have five likely future Hall of Famers. Pitchers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz, along with Chipper Jones, and manager Bobby Cox.
Glavine and Maddux are locks as first ballot Hall of Famers, with over 300 wins each. John Smoltz should be first ballot as well, with over 200 wins, and over 150 saves, as the only other guy with those type of numbers, Dennis Eckersley, got in on his first ballot. Chipper Jones has an over 300 career average, and over 400 homers. Even if he retires this year, he should get in. Manager Bobby Cox will retire this year with well over 2,000 wins. He should get in at some point too.
So thats the question. What teams from either specific years, orginizations, or eras, have the most Hall of Famers, in any sport?
