section314 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I will be shocked if he's not. He basically had a perfect career. Throw in the crap that has been dominating baseball for the last few months, and I think it's a done deal. And that's the way it should be. Let baseball celebrate the greatest ambassador they have had in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I remember when he was the 4th best young shortstop in the game behind A-Rod, Nomar, and Rey Ordonez. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I predict that Jeter will miss 100% by 1 vote (predictions are soooo much easier after the fact) Meanwhile, c'mon sportswriters, Bonds, Clemens and Rose are three of the greatest players in history (plus Sosa with 600+ HR's) and Bill Mazeroski with a .667 OPS is in your hall. Now don't give me "he was a great fielder" crap because of his 8 GG's. Keith had 11 and a .821 OPS. Not that I feel strongly about this. Larry Walker? Kind of on the cusp. Helped by the ballpark more than Bonds and Sosa were helped by the juice. Good call on Schilling, He was a good pitcher but just not a hall of famer. How about Sheffield? 509HR . Manny? also 500+. Kent? 377HR as the dominant 2B of his era The biggest mystery is, how the $%#$ did Chone Figgins get on the ballot in the first place. OFFICAL ADVERTISIMENT: You like baseball? Check out the trivia thread. Don't like the questions asked? Then ask a few of your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 No doubt he deserves to be in. But it's a bit hypocritical to let Jeter, almost assuredly a roid user, in the Hall, and keep other all-time greats (also roid users) out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they look like a jealous loser. I am sure that "jealousy" is not the issue here. The issue is that there remains a curmudgeonly perception among sportswriters that no player deserves to be unanimously voted in because: a). There are true all time greats that did not get unanimous votes. and b). Some writers even feel that players should not be elected in their first year. This is not a Jeter thing. Far greater players received less votes. It is a conditioning of voters. Social media has shamed many to toe a line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No whiff of PEDs, one of the greatest, purest players I ever saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
