Who were they playing? This opens up a new question: What single play (there undoubtedly must be multiple examples of the occurrence) featured the most HOFers on the field at the same time? The most the batting team could offer is four, but then add to that number the HOFers playing in the field...uh oh, rabbit hole ahead...and we could also include umpires and on-field coaches, too, but let's not.

Yogi hit his GS against Detroit, which had only 1 HOFer in the field--George Kell.
The first four you mentioned were on the field when Tony Lazzeri hit a three-run shot scoring Ruth & Gehrig April 21, 1927-- so 7 HOFers in on the play. Wheat pinch hit for the A's and Hoyt & Combs also played for the Yankees that day.
