Warmup Tosses: What Do the HOF Ballot and Junk Wax Have in Common?

Do these guys seem familiar? No? Squint a little harder

Next week, these daily ramblings will start up again in earnest. And since we’re smack dab in the middle of Hall of Fame season, there will be a definite Cooperstown flavor to the silliness.

But, of course, we’re going to take an old-dude, sideways approach to the thing.

Want a hint? Take a look at the 2025 HOF ballot:

Lots of whippersnappers there, but also plenty of ties to some of the guys who filled my (and probably your) childhood shoeboxes.

What sorts of ties?

Well, tune in next week to find out — with maybe a few more tidbits later this week. And there just *may* be a few visual clues on that ballot up there.

While we wait, though, I’m curious — who would you vote for among those 28 names on the official Hall of Fame ballot?

Thanks for reading.
