Will Yankees-Dodgers break record for most Hall of Famers in a World Series?

Stars will be all over the diamond when the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers meet up in the World Series.

The Yankees and Dodgers will likely have a combined 20 players on their World Series rosters who have been named an All-Star at some point in their careers. That's also not including a few All-Stars who are currently on each team's respective 40-man rosters, such as Clayton Kershaw, Tyler Glasnow and DJ LeMahieu.

Additionally, the series will also include the likely winners of the AL and NL MVP awards. Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani are near locks to win the top individual honor in their respective leagues, which would be the first time since 2012 that the MVPs from each league went head-to-head in a World Series.

That begs the question: With so much star power, will this year's World Series end up featuring the most Hall of Fame players ever? 

That might be a stretch, as the 1932 World Series featured 13 players who wound up in Cooperstown.

However, this year's World Series could end up having the most Hall of Fame players in the Divisional Era (since 1969). The 1996 World Series between the Yankees and Atlanta Braves had nine players who later became enshrined in Cooperstown (Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Wade Boggs, Tim Raines, Tom Glavine, Chipper Jones, Greg Maddux, Fred McGriff, John Smoltz). The 2019 World Series between the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals also seems to be a likely threat to challenge that record.

But as the 2024 World Series is set to begin, let's take a look at the players on each roster who either likely already possess Hall of Famer credentials or are on the path to doing so. We'll enlist the help of Baseball Reference's
