Didn’t I see one?!!!

I HATE THE YANKEES.....

97.7% is ridiculous, again writers showing why they don’t deserve a vote. Jeter should have been unanimous.......Nolan Ryan should have been unanimous......Ken Griffey Jr should have been unanimous.....


Larry Freaking Walker?!! I like the guy but this shouldn’t be the Hall of Really Good. Some poor candidates this year.

Yeah (begrudgingly). If there has to be a Yankee in the HOF from the last 25 years, it would need to be Jeter.

Whacked smart giving Morning after gift baskets to the ladies. Doing it right after doing it. Also predated the Metoo movement. He made the most of his time and talents. A great annoyance on the field. Especially to Red Sox fans.

Eh.........Jeter was a compiler....
He just played a long time....
Heck, wasn’t even the best shortstop on his team for a good long while....

Heh heh
Baseball writers..........some of them........the fat fuqs smoking Parodis and still using type writers, feel it’s their duty to make sure no one gets 100%

He wasn’t a big “stat” guy, he was a big “gamer” when the lights were brightest he always came through.

Pete Rose should be in the HOF.
As a player.
Not as a manager.

Keep the ban from MLB. The HOF is a separate entity if I'm not mistaken.

For crying out loud.
We have wife beaters, racists and jay-walkers in the hall.
Get over your collective selves (aimed at the MLB Illuminati).

And Jeter sucks.
His defensive range was zero.
But he deserved 100%.
To suggest otherwise is foolish.

We used to watch Barry when he was an up and coming player, playing at the Triple A level for the Hawaii Islanders (...Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate...). Skinny as a whip, fast as lightning. You had to be a fool to not see his major league potential. Anyway, followed him throughout his Pirates career but lost track / interest when he went to SF. His transformation from Whippet Barry to Middle LB Bonds was definitely troubling and then to learn later about the head and feet size increase, you just knew something wasn’t right. Learned at lot from “Game of Shadows.”

Steroids are different than gambling and yes he may have not gambled while playing only while coaching but I don’t believe anything Pete says. Steroids weren’t illegal in baseball until they were, GAMBLING HAS been an issue LONG before Charlie Hustle.

As far as steroids, they really need to put a separate room in the hall. Like it or not it IS a part of baseball history no matter how any individual feels in the subject. My personal opinion on steroids is a lot like man made global warming. Do I think it has an impact? Sure. But you know what.....they still have to hit the ball, and it’s the most difficult task in sports IMO. I think both steroids and HGH have had a BIGGER impact on players longevity and availability from injury than actually PUSHING a ball over the fence that wouldn’t have been a HR.

But arguments of false pretense and half truth ARE EXACTLY what is the cause (IMO) of people’s ability to challenge their own ideas openly.
