Did You Know? HOF

Couldn't sleep. So I thought I'd do a trivia question. My desktop has these players all standing together.

How many Hall Of Famers went into the hall of fame representing the Orioles?

Once you choose how many, try to list them all.

Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Earl Weaver, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken

Other HOF'ers who played for the Orioles:

Gus Triandos, Robin Roberts, Hoyt Wilhelm, Reggie Jackson, Luis Aparicio

Don't believe that Triandos made the Hall.

You did forget the turn of the century great Wee Willie Keeler, famous for "Hit them where they Ain't."

knau,

Right on both counts.  Thought Triandos made it.

You will have to ask Move if he was thinking about modern day or back to turn of the century. 

The one I mixed up with Triandos is George Kell.  Also if you're going to count Keeler don't forget John McGraw.  3rd baseman for the turn of the century O's. 

Surprisingly, there are only 5 players and one manager that represent the Orioles in Cooperstown. Jim Palmer, Cal Ripken, Eddie Murray, Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson and Earl Weaver.

Gus Triandos never made it into the hall. Wee Willie Keeler was elected in 1939, but went in as a New York Highlander. In 1983 George Kell was elected as a member of the Tigers, and in 1984 Luis Aparicio was elected as a member of the White Sox. The only other two HOF'ers that played for Baltimore were Robin Roberts elected in 1976 as a member of the Phillies, and Reggie Jackson who was elected in 1993 as a member of the Yankees (he snubbed the Athletics). So only 5 players and 1 manager represent the Orioles in the HOF, and only a total of 11 in the hall ever put on an Orioles uniform.
