We weren't looking for HOF members, just people who played with them.

Which Joe Bush would that be?
The only two listed on this site are not listed as a HOF members.

David Vincent looked into this on the SABR mailing list in October, 2001. He found, as Piehead did, Bush, Grimes, and Hoyt tied at 36, Doc Farrell at 35.

I think I found the jackpot. Waite Hoyt played with 36 HOFers in his 21 year career.

Earlier today Raphy and I were chatting about this and I checked out Mike Morgan. Ten of his teammates are already in the HOF and I found another 11 with at least a decent shot at the HOF...still falls short though.
