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.
I think that would be the 1965 SF Giants (Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal, Warren Spahn, Gaylord Perry).
The 1929 Yankees did also (Babe Ruth, Bill Dickey, Lou Gherig, Tony Lazzeri, Miller Huggins, Leo Durocher) but the last two made it in as managers so the 1965 Giants had the most HOF players on its roster at one time. The 1965 Giants lost the NL pennant by 1.5 games to the LA Dodgers!
The New York Giants had 18 players in the Hall of Fame. In 1958, the team moved to San Francisco- where it still is- and has added 5 more players since then. This makes for a grand total of 23, giving them the record for most players by one team.
The New York Yankees (including when they had other names like the New York Highlanders) have a total of 22, the most for any American League team. Considering how many World Series they have won, you would naturally assume they probably have the record for Hall of Fame players but they do not.
The Giants also own the record, by a lot, for most players who've ever played for them and eventually wound up in the Hall- even if it was as a player for another team, with a massive 55.
The 1965 SF Giants had 6 HOF players on their roster. The 1929 NY Yankees also had 6 future HOFers but 2 of these made it in as managers.
1965 Giants: Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry, Orlando Cepeda,Warren Spahn.
1929 Yankees: Babe Ruth, Lou Gherig, Bill Dickey, Tony Lazzeri, Miller Huggins, Leo Durocher.
The 1965 Giants lost the pennant race to the LA Dodgers by 1.5 games!
The distinction of 8 HoF's (including managers) is also held by the 1928 Philadelphia Athletics:
Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Lefty Grove, Mickey Cochrane, Eddie Collins, Jimmy Foxx, and Al Simmons as players; with Connie Mack as manager.
If by "rings" you mean championships, the New York Yankees have 27 World Series championships and 40 AL Pennants... The most in all professional sports in North America
