This is why Jeter’s overrated imo. Still a hall of famer but not on that level.

The modern NY media machine is real.

I mean Mariano Rivera was the FIRST unanimous selection to the HOF....a reliever who usually just pitched 1 inning. What are they doing?

Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gherig, Ken Griffey jr., Ty Cobb, Sandy Koufax,....and lets be honest, Pete Rose....should've all been unanimous....but you can't vote for Pete like Joe Jackson. Jeter and Rivera were blessed from where they played.

I concur. What Willie Mays accomplished playing in Candlestick Park was incredible, and many former players including Pete Rose will tell you that Sandy Koufax was the best pitcher ever.

This take is just so freaking bad. Comparing how they were voted in vs. modern-day players, "OMG, Ruth didn't get 100%, so no one should!!!!" Rivera was considered the best reliever to ever pitch, comparing him to his peers. Then yes, he deserved the 100%.
