I second this list. And pray the Board to consider immediate censure of these "individuals" contained therein.

Listening to Hood and some other idiot tonight and they talked about this. Jeter has played in more playoff/world series games than the Cubs/Sox combined since 1900 or something.

I hear he has played more postseason games than both the Sox and Cubs.

That's one way to look at it. It's embarrassing.

But, with Konerko retiring the same year as Jeter, I can throw out another stat. Konerko and Jeter have the same amount of World Series titles over the last 13 years - 1 each.

LOL sorry Big C.

Agreed. HOF player, but not 100%

The funny thing is that when the voters that don't vote for him publicly whore themselves out, Jeter will shake his head, laugh respectfully about how it doesn't matter...and then go on living arguably one of the greatest lives in Man History.

This post is why Regular Reader is a Hall of Fame poster. He is a very wise man in matters concerning the great sport of baseball.

Getting 100% of the Hall of Fame vote will not matter to a great legendary superstar like Derek Sanderson Jeter. While the voters who leave him off the ballot will go home and congratulate themselves on their silly little non-vote, Derek Sanderson Jeter will be in his mansion with one and/or several scantily clad supermodels. That is just a fact.

On this issue, Regular Reader is like the black part of the black and white cookie. I am the white part. We all must look to the cookie, including Hall of Fame voters.

It's my loss but I don't know if I ever watched Jeter play a regular season game.
I'll catch him this year when his team gets their asses crushed by the Cubs.

Probably should hold on to that idea for just one more year.

I know, he did a Hall of Fame job of agreeing with my post. Excelsior!

Your Hall of Fame credentials are assumed and presumed. Everybody knows the effect of the law of gravity, you do not have to restate it every time you drop a pencil. Then people would think you are a madman. "Oh, I dropped my pencil. You see, the earth's gravity is the reason etc., etc., etc." The people around you are saying enough already, we know this!

What I have failed to consider is that even great superstars like Rogers Park Bryan need positive feedback. When the legendary Mickey Charles Mantle was slugging massive and epic home runs, I would bet that Billy Martin said to himself: "I should probably congratulate Mickey Charles Mantle on that massive tape measure home run. No, I think it is fairly obvious that all of us Yankees players appreciate Mickey Charles Mantle's greatness. He will just think I am stating the obvious and bothering him" And at that exact moment Mickey Charles Mantle is thinking to himself: "I wonder why nobody congratulates me on my greatness." And maybe a small tear would come from his eye.

So it is like a sit-com where there is a giant misunderstanding. There also is no black and white cookie analogy with the great Crystal Lake Hoffy and the great Rogers Park Bryan. Rogers Park Bryan is a rapper, but he is also, I believe, white. There is no such thing as a white and white cookie. If there is such a thing, it is probably called something else.

when i heard the news about DEREK SANDERSON JETER retiring my first thought was "oh man, where's stoneroses on this one?"

sure enough, he's front and center as if the word "apropos" needed a better and thusly most prominent example of its ideal usage.

what is there to say about jeets that hasn't already been said ad nauseum in both this thread and the rest of the digital universe? the guy was some sort of bellcow for the SABR/baseballprimer crowd who loved to argue his UZR demerits in the wake of being MISTER YANKEE, aka the veritable mascot of everything related to the most glorious sports franchise on this otherwise lowly planet.



that about sums it up.... the stats say that he was truly some sort of albatross @ SS, and thus the yankees made the wrong move when they allowed a-rod to move to thiird and kept an inferior defensive/fielding SS at the position.... however the crowd that considers "pride of the yankees" to be a religious experience likely rejoices when jeets gets a 3/51 contract late in his career to hang around and remain the veritable yankees mascot for a few more years, as opposed to entertaining the ghastly concept of DEREK SANDERSON JETER in any other uniform other than the pinstripes which by this point have to adjourn his skin also.

Also, it amuses me to no end when i see the grammatical deference to Mickey Charles Mantle (you don't go all caps with this one, as there's no need to shout and overly emphasize the magnanimous.....ness(?) of the man, the myth, the legend of the guy who could have been so much more if he didn't leave ~33-40% of his athleticism out on the field where the dumbasses had a sprinkler in the middle of the playing area.

Much like CAPTAIN DEREK SANDERSON JETER striding to the plate in a big playoff game, when I see StoneRoses as the last post, I know good things are around the corner

Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and their mainstream media sycophants can go skullfuck themselves with an oversized crowbar. I am enjoying the new era of Yankee mediocrity and look forward to its continuation for years to come.

He's a 1st ballot guy no doubt. 100%......if anyone is ever going to get a unanimous vote, it just might be Jeter.

If he played in any other city, he would be Craig Biggio.

I would certainly think it true that every single player in the HOF was far from HOF in at least one of their important metrics. Jeter may well not have had the career in Arlington or Milwaukee that he enjoyed in NY, but his link to the success that the Yankees have had, especially in the playoffs seems obvious to me. I am impressed that he may be the only player whose team found a way to keep in today's market climate all the way to the actual end of his career. It might actually be evidence of the value beyond on-field performance.

The fact that he has managed to keep his personal life so private outside of the tri-state area may be even more impressive that his career. First ballot, yep. 100%, no chance.
