Has a pro sprots team ever won a championship without a single HOFer?

[reasonable_doubter]

Has a team in any professional sport ever won a championship without a single HOFer/Future HOFer on their roster?

 

[H. Selassie]

04 Pistons

 

[Regular_P]

2015 Kansas City Royals might qualify for that.

'05 White Sox, '02 Angels and '97 Marlins (Sheffield should have made it though).

 

[MJ Truth]

I would say the 2004 Pistons, even though them winning that championship is pretty much guaranteeing either Ben Wallace gets in, or Chauncey (alongside that ESPN push he'll inevitably get for that case) will end up in there.

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

One of the Marlins World Series teams, probably.

The Royals de probably too early to tell.

The White Sox count IMO because even though Frank Thomas was on the team he was out due to injury.

Sheffield will eventually get in the HOF

Forgot Big Hurt was on that team. Yeah, he barely played.

I think the only way Sheff gets in is by the Veteran's Committee.

I know Ben was never an offensive weapon, but you can't be that dominant defensively and not get in. They already let everyone in so Ben should definitely get in.

04 Pistons

ben wallace will make it off the strength of his 4 DPOY, 5 all nba teams, 4 all star selections
but yeah thats about the closest we'll get to that.

04 pistons...

Ben the only guy with a chance to make it and I don't know if 4 DPOY and a ring is enough to get him in with such putrid offensive numbers

 

[Rick Roller 10]

One of the Marlins World Series teams, probably.

Gary Sheffield on that 97 team should be in the hall, and they had Miguel Cabrera in 03

U realize Mutombo is in the HOF don't u

Dikembe Mutombo had double the All star appearances (8 vs 4), had 11 seasons where he averaged double digits ( 11 vs 0) and was a NBA ambassador.

Offensive numbers are quite a bit better than Wallace...

Way more all star appearances

Second all time in blocks...Wallace isn't even top 10...

Mutumbo is sort of the baseline for what a defensive first player would need to get in...and Wallace doesn't have his numbers...
