Event 2020 HOF...

[yankeesince59]

Will Jeter join Mo as the only unanimously elected player ever?

Yes or No?

 

[cagedlion]

He should. One of the most legit sports players who led by example in a game tarnished by lack of
principles.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Will Jeter join Mo as the only unanimously elected player ever?

Yes or No?

I will be surprised if Jeter gets 100%.
Imo- Mr. RESPECT should garner 100%, but there's a few too many dickheads with Voting Credentials that don't do justice with their votes.
Too many anti-Jeter writers/voters...

To be honest, I felt the same way about Mo...yeah, I though he deserved to be a unanimous pick but figured there would a couple of voters who would not vote for him for the same reasons you outlined.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Per MLB "Hot Stove" with 43% of the ballots known as of 1/20/20 Jeter is rolling with a 100 & score.

Yep, to get MLB Writers to come to any consensus is similar to giving a lecture to The Flat Earth Society, on "the Earth being round"...

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Per MLB "Hot Stove" as of 1/21/20 Jeter still with a perfect score with more than 60% of the ballots cast.

 

[mrmel29]

Jeter unanimous HOF pick and only one elected

 

[Rangers94]

Jeter and Walker get in. Jeter gets all but ONE vote. Whomever that person is should be made public and they should have to answer why.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Jeter 1 vote short of perfection. As my father used to say there always has to be one.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

this pisses me off big time...how can someone in their right mind say he wasnt an all time great...

i dont buy this bullshit of well he isnt first ballot worthy..fuck you ..you are either a hall of famer or not.

 

[Messiah717]

There had to be one idiot who wants the attention. He should never be allowed to vote again.

 

[Messiah717]

Jeter and Walker get in. Jeter gets all but ONE vote. Whomever that person is should be made public and they should have to answer why.

Congrats to Walker as well. Good hard nosed player and excellent hitter.

 

[cagedlion]

Congratulations to Mr. RESPECT & Walker. To that one douche bag, attention getter voter who did not think
Jeter worthy.......a resounding “drop dead”!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

That one Anonymous voter who shit on the unanimous... he still believes the earth is flat!
That 1 Writer is the most wanted man I America!

 

[mrmel29]

Hell be found out shortly. Too many people want to know who and why

 

[Hobbesarable]

So, there's one putz who didn't vote for Jeter.

I will let Mr. T handle this!

[Mattingly23NY]

Jeter a Stud amongst studs in many many ways.
Here's but one of several-



Oh, my bad (any reference to A-Fraud)!

 

[yankeesince59]

99.7% ???...seriously?...f'n idiots.

[Yankeefan5545]

Jeter was the "man" on al of his Yankee Teams, one you could count on with each AB or Field Time. One who always wanted to win and put the team before himself. Congrats on his HOF selection and I'll add congrats to Walker as well.

 

[yankeesince59]

Sorry, but I'm still steamed about the ONE voter who left DJ off the ballot...in all seriousness, how can he/she justify their idiocy.

No disrespect to Mo, but if ANYONE ever deserved to be a unanimous first ballot HOFer, it is Derek Sanderson Jeter.

 

[yankeesince59]

...and oh, if Biggio, Alomar, Sandberg, and Morgan are in the HOF as 2Bmen, Jeff Kent definitely belongs. The stats clearly show this, and it's not that close.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

I didn't like the one vote miss either, the individual should be drawn and quartered. I do remember seeing articles about disgruntled individuals unhappy with Jeter after he acquired the Marlins. It was noted that the release of Dawson, Perez, Conine and the like were revenge for the 2003 World Series. Stupid assessment in my book, new ownership means changes that is common sense to me. Can't remember the name of the sports writer down there in Miami who was particularly critical of Jeters moves. A real dumb ass in my book, Jeter is the last guy you'd bet on to not succeed. If that writer or sports caster had a vote or had a crony with one that my be the answer. So Jeter may have ruffled some feathers, did not diminish his service time in MLB.

Dan Le Batard maybe? ...I think he's from down around Miami and I remember him going absolutely ballistic when Jeter traded Stanton and Yellich.

But I'm not sure if he's a voter or not.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Le Batard, yep that's him and from what I can find out had his HOF Vote taken away from him for transferring it to a blog called Deadspin. At the risk of appearing totally stupid I will admit to having no knowledge of that blog. I will not admit my thoughts on Miami I'd be banned from the board. I really was hoping Jeter would buy into the Yankees but it did not happen. When he acquired the Miami Baseball team my first thought was to wish him well, he and Mattingly have a project down there and don't need interference from assholes who never played the game.

Le Batard is an obnoxious ass hat...that goes for both him and his Dad who I can't even understand when he's speaking.

I still believe that someday Jeter will be at least a part owner of he Yanx. (with the help of a purchase group, of course)

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I expect the Schmuck Schilling to get the nod in the next 2 years. He made up a lot of ground from his 60.9% last year to the 70% he received this year. Not my choice of a HOF'r.

• historically, once a player reaches 70 percent, it's only a matter of time until they get over the 75 percent threshold. Schilling has another two years remaining on the ballot and is likely to be voted into Cooperstown at some point given his current trajectory, and in all likelihood it will be next year.

This shit **(noted below) outrages me as much if maybe no a bit more than Jeter not obtaining 100%, i.e. Bonds and Clemens getting more than 1%.

**Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, continue to remain well short of induction. Bonds appeared 60.7 percent of submitted ballots, Clemens 61.0 percent. Both have two years of Hall of Fame eligibility remaining, though their support has stagnated in the 50-60 percent range the last few years. Barring a sudden jump in support for the next two years, neither will qualify for Cooperstown.

that 1 guy is likely in a witness protection program at this point.
