Jeter is NOT a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Gtfo-/If there is ANYBODY, who is a 1st balloter, it’s Derek fricking Jeter. To even contemplate that there is the slightest chance he won’t get in 1st try is absolutely absurd. He’s much, MUCH more likely to be unanimous than to be left out. Rivera broke that door down. And Jeter was the captain and face of all the Rivera championships. And more.

I was never a big Jeter fan during his prime. I was an ARod guy by far. Liked Nomar better than Jeter. Was a Braves fan, so had to have the prerequisite hate required for him and the wave of disappointment(for the Braves) he brought in ‘96 through the end of the 90s and the early aughts. I loved being the 1st person to call him overrated in any “best” arguments. But then I wasn’t 1st, wasn’t 2nd. Wasn’t 3rd, 4th, or 400th. It had somehow become cool to hate on Derek Jeter. Derek fricking Jeter.

And so I found myself in a strange, unfamiliar position—that of Jeter defender. A white knight. He had become thought of as so overrated, that he had made it all the back, to underrated. Full circle. Sailed so Far East, that you burned up out west.
Ran so far right, that you turned up at the left of her breast. Whose? I don’t know, but I bet she was in a be upper 9s, flirting with the unicorn.

Derek Jeter sucks
Maybe toes, big titties, and clits
Dat dude’s peter fricks
More baskets than he ever got his

And he had 3,465
