As Pete pointed out in another thread, the Time Warp Baseball League is on an extended hiatus midway through the 1971 season and we're not sure if it's going to come back. One of the open items we have for the current season is the annual Hall of Fame balloting.

This is a loaded class of newcomers. It includes the only player to reach 3000 hits who played the majority of his career in the Live Era (1946-71). It includes four players who ranked #4, #5, #6 and #11 all-time in HR's when they retired at the end of 1965. It includes a 294 game winner and a 272 game winner who combined to win five Pitcher of the Year awards. It also includes a pitcher widely considered to be one of the two best post season pitchers of all-time.

A couple of us throught that if the league ends up being in permanent hiatus, that having these players get their shot on the ballot might be a decent way to wrap it.
