Would be nice, but doubt the voters will allow it.

Jeter won't be 1st ballot?

He'll be first ballot for sure.
The only question is if he is the first to go UNAMINOUS, with 100% of the vote.
Rivera might do it right before him...

I don't think anyone will be unanimous because the voters think they are making a point by not having a player go in with 100% of the vote. It's ridiculous.

Lots of players with WAY better numbers than Jeter that are eligible and not in right now... I don't think he should be first ballot based on that fact alone.

LOL! Guess what all of them have in common?
Not picking on you and I'm not a HUGE Jeter fan but it's a done deal he is a first ballot guy. I thought this was going to be a discussion not about him being a first ballot but him being the first 100% votes on first ballot.

I am going by stats. I am pretty sure 100% of players in the last 20 years have used some sort of enhancement substance. Guys like Griffey, Jeter and Chipper do not get passes from me just because of their "image".

So you believe (1) Jeter took something and (2) nobody deserves first ballot into the HOF?

Jeter doesn't deserve first ballot if the players I mentioned earlier are not first ballot. All of those guys have way better numbers than Jeter.

Yes first ballot, only question in my mind is over/under 90% of the vote
I'm not the person you are replying to a quote to, but 1) I think it's possible Jeter took something for quicker recovery from everyday soreness since I don't recall him spending much time on the DL in the years steriod use was suspected in baseball and 2) my feelings on first ballot is to reserve it for a player who was the best at his position among the peers he played with and Jeter doesn't fit that description to me so I would have to vote him in on the second year ballot if I were a voter.
