Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza each received the call from Cooperstown on Wednesday, which brought back memories of a classic Sports Illustrated cover featuring the two stars early in their respective careers.

Did SI nail that or what?

After doing their Hall of Fame press conference, Junior and Piazza were at the MLB Network studios. That's where they turned back the clock and recreated the cover, nearly 22 years later.
