The 2021 Hall of Fame ballot was announced today, and it includes a future White Sox Hall-of-Famer:
Several other (fringe) White Sox join Buehrle on the ballot: Andruw Jones, Manny Ramírez, Sammy Sosa, Nick Swisher and Omar Vizquel.
The 2021 class is considered “weak” because there isn’t a single first-ballot Hall-of-Famer among the newbies. But perhaps that helps the Hall clear out some of the backlog of worthy honorees — our own Brett Ballantini, who is geeky enough to track these things, says there are 13 worthy candidates up this year.
