The most Hall of Famers, update 20 (the final one, sort of)

 
 
Ever since I dropped cable, I haven't viewed much of the Hall of Fame's annual induction ceremony, which used to be a regular must-watch.
 
I saw a little bit of it on YouTube the other day and watched as the players already in the Hall were introduced at the beginning. That's always a fun part. But for whatever reason I particularly noticed the HOFers who weren't there this time.

Maybe it's because in previous viewings I was distracted, I just couldn't get over all of the Hall of Famers in one place. But this time I was noticing that several notables were missing, not just guys who are probably at that age that they just can't go wherever they want, such as Sandy Koufax and Carl Yastrzemski, but Reggie Jackson, Robin Yount, Carlton Fisk, Nolan Ryan, Wade Boggs, Rickey Henderson, Pedro Martinez, Greg Maddux and others weren't there.
 
Maybe that's always the case and just something I focused on this year.
 
Every Hall of Fame card is treasured, though, whether they're still with us or not. That's why I've been tracking the most Hall of Famers in Topps sets since 2013. 
 
Like mentioned in the previous edition in February, this is the final update, as far as adding new updates from past sets. I will add the 1994 Topps set this time to complete the exercise and determine officially the set with the Most Hall of Famers.

As you saw, 1994 has 40 Hall of Famers, which is less than 1993 but more than 1995. This was the start of the general decline of Hall of Famers in sets until the present time. I did not include the Hank Aaron card in the '94 set because his career was long over in '94. Including just active players has been the rule since the start.
 
The totals will change as more Hall of Famers are added in future years. That's why I will update once a year after a new class is either elected or inducted (haven't decided yet).
 
But I'm done listing every single year with every name and a card for each name. That takes way too long. What I'll probably do is just update the years where new Hall of Famers are added and show a card for each year (I'll probably change the card shown, too, as some of the cards have been appearing for the last 11 years).
 
I'll also update the top 10 years as I always have. Here it is now, unchanged since the last time: 
 
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
6. 1993 Topps - 47
9. 1970 Topps - 46
9. 1978 Topps - 46
9. 1992 Topps - 46  

Thanks for reading this series through all these years. I know people have different ideas of what consists of a Hall of Fame card but I'm not stopping anyone from doing their own version.

So that's all until the next class.

I haven't cut cable, but I did cancel the sports package with MLB Network so I haven't seen a HOF ceremony since 1018 or '19. I didn't even realize this year's ceremony already happened.

It is interesting to see the # of HOFers in each Topps set grow - especially when it's unexpected like the '50s and '60s sets. But i can understand why you'd want to minimize these posts.
I got rid of cable several years ago and I don't even watch TV anymore except for random things on YouTube.

This is kind of making me want to go through and see how many HoF base cards I actually own from each set…

Am also curious if you're going to be adding 2019 and newer sets to this as guys get added.

Yes, I'll be adding more recent sets when they start to produce Hall of Famers.

Great series! Enjoy seeing all those names from my favorite decade the 60's.

Just noticed now but there were 9 hall of fame managers in the 1983 set. That meant 35% of MLB were coached by a HOF manager. There is something that is just not right about that. I know Frank Robinson was in the HOF because of his playing career. The odd thing I always thought Chuck Tanner was the best manager in the game in the late 70s and early 80s and he is not in the Hall of Fame. Granted he did finish just below .500 for career

I'm part of the "no cable" club. But I did watch Beltre's speech. Love that guy's personality.

Great job with this series.

Re Bateman's comment - I wonder who he thinks is unqualified among the managers? Whitey Herzog is the only one that I can see an argument where they aren't a Hall of Famer. Cox, LaRussa and Torre didn't rise to HOF level until much later in their managerial careers. That still leaves four no-doubters in 1983: Sparky, Lasorda, Weaver, Dick Williams.

There were a lot fewer managers, and they lasted for a lot longer than players did. So it would make sense to have a much higher percentage of HOF managers than players.

Love that 1969 set for so many reasons - back color, photos, later series showing off new uniforms for 4 expansion teams, etc. Really glad you included the Kaline card. My all time favorite player. Great to read his card back. Batted .379 and hit 2 HRs in 1968 WS is mentioned on the back.

I missed this post due to traveling to the National and then to Cooperstow.

My internet was spotty in Cooperstown.

All of the card stores on main street in Cooperstown have all of the HOF'ers sorted in alphabetical order, so this article would be helpful to them.

I enjoy this post every year that you revise it. It provides such an informative snap shot of how the HOF'ers are sprinkled thru the ages of Topps releases.

I too, love the introduction of past members at the start of the Induction Ceremony and spend some time trying to decide why certain members are missing.

Great Post
