Baseball Hall of Fame President Josh Rawitch announced on Tuesday from Cooperstown, New York, live on MLB Network, the newest members of the shrine’s Class of 2025—Ichiro Suzuki, Billy Wagner, and CC Sabathia.

Sizzling baseball talk couldn’t have had better timing for the big announcement coming from the “Home of Baseball” in Central New York, as much of the east coast, including Otsego County where Cooperstown is located, is reeling from the effects of a polar vortex.
