The unveiling of the Hall of Fame ballot is one of the more underrated parts of the baseball offseason.
While most of the names on the ballot will never get close to Cooperstown, just having their name appear on the ballot — even if it’s just for a year before falling off — is a nice way to cap off a very good career and gives us one last chance to remember a guy fondly.
That’s likely the case for a pair of former Brewers who are on the ballot for the first time this year — LaTroy Hawkins and Aramis Ramirez.
