Green-Wood in Brooklyn or Rosehill in Chicago?
Good guess, Greenwood is #3 with 38 major leaguers and Holy Cross, also in Brooklyn has 38 (Gil Hodges). Cobb is in Rosehill in Georgia, Pee Wee Reese is in Rosehill in Kentucky. Don't know about Chicago. Calvary in Woodside NY has 38 (Wee Willie Keeler), Inglewood in LA has 36 (Sam Crawford, Bobby Wallace - maybe the most obscure Hall of Famer). New Cathedral in Baltimore has just 18, but four are Hall of Famers (Hanlon, Kelley, McGraw, Robinson). And I should point out that 16 are in Arlington National Cemetery, largely unknown.
The second most, with 55 former MLB players, is at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma. Frankie Crosetti, Joe DiMaggio, George "High Pockets" Kelly, and the immortal Cy Falkenburg -- who gave up Ty Cobb's first hit.
