Let’s do some business, and Happy Halloween, everyone.

Boo!

› MLB Rushmore of Juniors — Cal Ripken Jr., Ken Griffey Jr., Vlad Guerrero Jr., and Bobby Witt Jr.

› Let’s do the Rushmore of acting Richard(s) — With all apologies to Richard Dawson, who is among the best game show personalities of all-time as well as excellent turns in “Hogan’s Heroes” and the original (and underrated) “The Running Man,” we’ll go Burton, Gere, Harris and Dreyfus with apologies to Pryor, Attenborough and Dreyfus.

› Rushmore of statues. Liberty, Rushmore, David — and statute of limitations. (I know Chas, I know.)
