The previous answer here said: "the dodgers"
Apparently they must have been a Dodger fan because in actuality, it is the Giants.
1st - Giants: 56 players, 11 managers
2nd - Dodgers: 45 players, 9 managers
3rd - Yankees: 41 players, 11 managers
These numbers are a touch inflated. Most people count players that played the majority of their career for one team. Consider the fact that there are only 19 managers in the Hall yet someone has listed 31 from just 3 teams. The Giants do have the most Hall of Famers, however on their official site they only list 29 as having spent the majority of their career with the team. They break it down further by listing 23 other members of the Hall who spent a small portion of their career with the team. They go on to list only 1 manager and 3 broadcasters. Take the above numbers with a grain of salt and do a little research for yourself.
There is no one in the baseball Hall of Fame who had nothing to do with baseball. They were either coaches, players, etc. Abbott and Costello.
All members of the Baseball Hall of Fame are considered equal -- you either are a Hall of Famer or you aren't. The year that you join is called your "class," and the first such class -- ie, the "first class" -- is given a special room at the Hall of Fame. These five are, indeed, considered the cream of the crop of baseball players.

Sixty-six representatives of the Giants (55 players and 11 managers) have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, more than any other team in the history of baseball. The Dodgers franchise is second (45 players, 9 managers) and the New York Yankees are third (41 players, 11 managers).
