Since Frank Chance is also in the HoF, I wonder how many others among the above pairs finished the DP with a hall of fame first baseman.  I don’t know the answer…

That's a great question. Interestingly, Tinker and Evers are not generally considered to be HOF-worthy. Meanwhile, Gil Hodges has had HOF support over the years and could eventually join Robinson and Reese.

There is at least one case (besides Tinker/Evers/Chance) of three hall of fame infielders playing together over an extended period, although they were a first baseman, shortstop and third baseman. This trio played in the same infield from 1936 through 1939. Guesses?
