South Side Sox Podcast 19 takes on Cooperstown and the 2021 Hall of Fame contenders. Brett Ballantini and Chrystal O’Keefe discuss the ins and outs of this year’s election, including the possibility that no candidates reach immortality.
Topics tackled by the duo:

Exactly how identical are Brett’s and Chrystal’s ballots, anyhow?

Support for Sammy Sosa

Separation between the Barry Bonds/Roger Clemens voting contingent from the Curt Schilling/Omar Vizquel voters

Big Hall vs. Small Hall vs. Medium Hall

Does Mark Buehrle have a shot (spoiler: With SSS, he seemingly does!)

The “pure” candidates on the ballot

Should closers be in the Hall of Fame?
