The most Hall of Famers, update 16

 
I'm writing this in advance of the Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony for the Class of 2022. I don't know if I'll be able to watch it even though it's been pretty much ritual for the last dozen years or so.
 
If I can't, I'll catch the highlights. I've got to see what the Gil Hodges family has to say.

The star of the festivities, though, I assume will be David Ortiz, the "most current" of the induction class. He is also the most current Hall of Fame player to receive a base card in Topps' flagship set. It's the 2017 card atop this post. There hasn't been a Hall of Famer featured on his own base card in flagship for five years, excluding all those SPs Topps throws in now.

In this current state of mind, I decided to carry out what I had planned to do a year ago and figure out how many Hall of Famers have been in each of Topps' flagship sets since the 2006 set, the previous most-recent set that I had reviewed.

Obviously, this won't affect the current standings for the most Hall of Famers since not enough time has passed for these sets to accumulate a stockpile of Hall entrants. But it's interesting to see the totals dissipate as we get closer to the present.

As is tradition, I am repeating all of the sets for which I've listed Hall of Famers, along with the new ones, which will be 2007-17 at the end.

For sets 2014-17, there won't be any card images. I don't want to repeat a player pictured, which means I'll have to swap out some of the card images I've used before so I can have unique players for the rest of the sets, and I don't have time for that now.

Anyway, here we go:

All right, that takes care of the modern sets. Just in case you forgot, here are the set leaders, unchanged obviously:
 
1. 1969 Topps - 51
1. 1983 Topps - 51
3. 1971 Topps - 50
3. 1972 Topps - 50
5. 1984 Topps - 49
6. 1973 Topps - 47
6. 1975 Topps - 47
8. 1970 Topps - 46
8. 1978 Topps - 46
10. 1979 Topps - 45
10. 1981 Topps - 45
10. 1993 Topps - 45
 
I think next time -- hopefully soon, but you know me -- I will finish off either the '70s or the '80s.

And congrats to Fowler, Hodges, Kaat, Minoso, Oliva, O'Neil and Ortiz.

This is an extensive list. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into your posts. Only recently did I realize that Hodges' induction was so recent. I assumed he was inducted in the 80's or before, Sure glad the Veterans Committee is correcting what would be a terrible omission.

It is kind of strange the 1972, 1971 and 1983 are probably my top three sets of all time (1969 is probably in top 6) but they have nothing to do with Hall of Famers.

If someone was in a coma from 1995 juswt woke up and you showed them Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmerio, Sammy Sosa, Manny Rameriz, Alex Rodriguez stats and tell him they are not in the hall of fame he would think your nuts.

Always a fun post, thanks for the all the research!

I love these posts
Matt said…
It's always fun seeing these get updated. When you eventually do the 1977 set, will Minoso get included for his Record breaker card?
Fuji said…
Look forward to this update... almost as much as I look forward to hearing the announcement on who will be inducted each year.

Leaning toward "yes," because he did play in '76.
The 90s and 00s sets with less than 30 HOFers seem pedestrian, compared to the sets of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, almost all with > 40 HOFers.
