It's a good thing the Hall of Fame standard has never been higher and we'll never see something like this 1920's debacle again.

And only 16 teams in the 1920s right? So teams are averaging 4 HOFers and of course teams like NYY, NY Giants and A's probably have 8 or more. Crazy.

32 teams in 1925 and 1926 if you are using the 71 Hall of Famers including Negro Leagues. 53 Major Leaguers in 1928-30 works out to 3.3125 per team.
