The whole not getting 100% is dumb. Another reason why sportswriters are worthless. There are so many guys that should have been unanimous decisions, but weren't because some sportswriter felt that no one should get 100% of the votes. Dumb. Jeter should get 100% without question.
There has been some changing of the guard there. Mariano Rivera just got 100% last year.
I know. And that was awesome. I hope that trend continues, but I have a feeling that will make the sportswriters pull back even more. You'll have a bunch of guys not vote for someone just so it ensures a non 100% vote. Jeter deserves 100%. Let's see if he gets it.
Still waiting on him to return my message. It says "Read" and at one point I saw the three dots come up, but that was hours ago and no reply. Will keep everyone updated.
If he's feeling that disrespected, he's certainly in a position to do something about that.
There are a number of HOFers that should've been unanimous and for whatever reason the writers have always refused to do so before Mariano. Chipper deserved to be unanimous too.
Probably so but the HOF is stupid anyway. I went as a kid and thought it was the greatest thing ever, but after having watched some of the players who’ve made it in and some who are still on the outside, it’s just a big goof.
Barry Bonds is not in the hall of fame but Harold Baines is. Imagine being incredulous over whether a guy got a 100% of the vote but not that.
Yup. My memory is going, as stated in about 100 other posts. Are you now going to stalk me on this board for the rest of my life?shadyridr said:

Sign stealing was a coordinated team thing, totally different. And I think Altuve/Bregman should not have it counted against them for the Hall (it will of course).
I guess I’m good with this. One year deal still frees up Pache and Waters to take over when/if they’re ready and it sends Markakis finally to the bench.
Not saying Walker shouldn’t be a HOFer, but his OPS in Colorado was 1.172 in 2500 plate appearances. In all other parks combined his OPS was .871. IMO, that does not qualify as “not that much different.”His numbers were not that much different away from Coors. Deserves to be in the Hall.
Not really. It’s part of the reason he wasn’t a first ballot 99.7% kind of guy is all I’m saying.
But hes clearly a HOFer. Over rated vs under rated shouldn't matter. Was he or was he not a HOFer is really the only question that matters.
Fair enough. Seems I was mislead somewhat by canadian media.
