Actually Al, I always get that one wrong.

If you want to get technical, the '64 Braves have 5 players with cards who are in the HOF, although Joe Torre went in as a manager (Spahn, Mathews, Niekro and Aaron). Same for the '67 Cardinals with McCarver in as a broadcaster (Gibson, Carlton, Brock and Cepeda).

Seems like there should be a more modern qualifier than those already listed, and BTW, the '65 Giants also had 6 HOFers--Warren Spahn pitched for them that year although his card had him on the Mets.
