They don't. A player, manager or executive elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, may choose which team they wish to represent when elected. Most will, however, choose the team in which they spent the most years associated with, or to which they had their most success. i. e. Joe Morgan entered the H of F as a Cincinnati Reds, although, he broke into the Majors with Houston and also played for the Phillies.
