Jeter HOF?
Absolute 1st ballot lock!
If he didn't play in NYC and say KC. No! The market has much to do with his fame. He is a great player. Alomar at his peak was better. Also, DJ does play and has always played with a stacked deck.
As much as I hate ARod you can't even compare them, but look how DJ is treated how Arod treated. Talk about people loving the guy who hustles and plays hard. Arod does the same, but he is the Rodney dangerfield of pro sports. The guy has his 26 bombs in about 4 weeks of hot play! That is crazy. Everyone including myself jumps on Arod when he makes a mistake, but if it Jeter, "well, that happens"
