Pick the one-team MLB Hall of Famers:

Pretty easy quiz. Even the ones I didn't know I was able to guess because of who was remaining.

Re: Test Your Baseball Knowledge
Bill DeWitt said that there has always been a future Hall of Famer on the Cardinals roster since 1909. So - what's the least number of Hall of Famers you can use to compile that list? Yes, you can use Yadi and Albert since DeWitt called them 'future Hall of Famers'.
Here's a guess at the list without looking at starts and ends...
1. Yadier Molina
2. Albert Pujols
3. Lee Smith - does he get you all the way from 2000 to 1996? Can't remember.
EDIT - I'm an idiot. 4. Ozzie Smith
5. Keith Hernandez - Does he get you all the way to Gibson? Joe Torre might be needed here. I assume you can use Torre for this?
6. Bob Gibson
7. Stan Musial
8. Dizzy Dean
9. ?? - Somebody needed here?
10. Rogers Hornsby
11. ?? - Hornsby was a rookie in 1915. So we need at least one more.
BONUS QUESTIONS:
- What if you just used players and those who went into the Hall as players?
- Any team with a list that starts earlier than 1909?
- Any team with a shorter list to get to 1909 or earlier?

Re: Test Your Baseball Knowledge
For #9
Frankie Frisch between Dean and Hornsby
(Bottomly and Hafey as well- though I cannot say without looking for sure)
Branch Rickey if we count front office types
11 Miller Huggins he was a player in those early years before Hornsby. He was a HOF manager. I was sure he was before Hornsby, but I dont know the dates without looking.

Re: Test Your Baseball Knowledge
FYI-
For #5 I didn't think hernandez was in the HOF.
And you need someone between Dean and Musial.
Johnny Mize?

Re: Test Your Baseball Knowledge
For #5, Hernandez isn't in the Hall, but Bruce Sutter ('81) and Ted Simmons ('68-'80) are (you could also go with Whitey).Joe Shlabotnik wrote: ↑October 2 22, 8:15 pmBill DeWitt said that there has always been a future Hall of Famer on the Cardinals roster since 1909.

Between #7 and #8, add Johnny Mize.
For #9, add Frankie Frisch.
For #11, MIller Huggins came to town in 1910 and played through 1916.

Re: Test Your Baseball Knowledge
Jim Kaat would also help bridge the gap to Ozzie (1980-1983).
