I think it was Colin Cowherd. I didn't know that jackhole had a HOF vote. I dislike Jeter as much as the next guy, but he's definitely HOF.Probably a Boston fan... Just thinking out loud of course.
Congrats on Jeter getting in. I am also glad to see Roger move up a little.
Those voters are funny about unanimous, The man did great things and while I think the bar for HOF entry is set too low, he's one of the great ones that definitely deserves entry.
What about the Little League distances to the outfield walls at Fenway and Yankee Stadium??
I’d have to look at it on a case by case basis. Walker was 381/462/710 at Coors Field. He was 282/372/501 in any stadium not Coors. Most of his career was played in the juicy ball, small park era. To me, not a HOFer
There are hitters parks all over MLB. Maybe we should dismiss pitchers who pitch in pitcher friendly parks? The application of "Modern Analytics" say he should be in. Walker was a true 5 tool player when healthy and an inspiration to Canadian kids.
To me, he wasn't a good enough player to be "unanimous". He wore the goofy Yankee pinstripes, so now he's expected to be unanimous. Silly to me.
I think what he did, his ability and the fact he was part of a baseball dynasty should have meant a unanimous vote. Think about it this way, the person voting against him was basically saying his record, was not sufficient to warrant entry into the HOF and I think that's ludicrous.
Hate has nothing to do with it. he wasn't even the best shortstop on his own team for much of his career.
He is in some minds one of the top 5 shortstops in the game.
A-Rod was not Jeter. A-Rod was just as much showboater as he was baseball player.
I'm not saying he's not a hall of fame, but I'm not surprised he's not unanimous.Derek Jeter Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Rookie Status & More | Baseball-Reference.com

It was one vote shy. That's just a voter being a hard ass and not based on did he deserve to be elected.
So you're saying a 14 time all star, 5 golden glove and 5 time silver slugger was not one of the best shortstops
MLB has a huge problem. When that report came out there was nothing illegal about using steroids in the rule book. Should the HOF have any say in the matter.
And the fact that he rubbed a lot of these old writers the wrong way during his career. It's sad.
Yeah and I think last year, he even told the writers to not vote for him for the HOF lol.
"Ortiz survived all those seasons of strict drug tests.
Wasn't Manny Ramirez better than Ortiz too? Was he held out because he was a bad teammate?
