In 2 1/2 - 3 years, he will reach 3,000 hits, and that will solidify his HOF induction.

Re: Derek Jeter HOF worthy?

Once he goes over 3000 hits in a couple of years he is a lock. Four world championships, over a 300 career average, 3000 hits. No questions. I would say he is close if not in now if he does not play another game.

Re: Derek Jeter HOF worthy?

I have only 1 game used auto Steiner bat. I one point I had a lot of gear and Bats. Maybe like 8 bats, 2 pairs of cleats, 2 pairs of batting gloves, jump man sweat bands, 3 hats, and a GU 2nd base auto. I sold it all, I was not happy with my collecting. I found it to be more fun to Collect Ichiro and Japanese baseball players in general. Its just more fun to me, and we collect to have fun. Don't get me wrong still a big Yankees and Jeter FAN!!!!!!!!!

He looks like a decent candidate in normal times, but with the looming dark cloud of steroids I wouldn't put any money on his or any current players chances.

If Jeter was on roids he'd be hitting more than 15 HR a year.

For me NO player no matter how great or marginal is beyond suspicion at this point. Everyone has been caught taking them from the home run studs, to minor league players trying to get a cup of coffee in the "big show."

There hasnt been an ounce of suspision surrounding Jeter. If you look at his consistant numbers and physical appearance, there is now way he used steroids. This will help his cause.

Barring some insane event like confirmation that Jeter was one of the remaining "103" ......I would agree with everyone here.....he's a lock.

But I will also agree.......this is a brutal point in the history of the game, and NO ONE is considered sacred under the current time unbrella.

Can you guys just imagine if Ken Griffey Jr. was found to have used?

(Someone mentioned on another thread).....Cal Ripken Jr.???

I mean......we're talking about sacred players here, and Jeter has to be considered one of them. A beloved Yankee, 4-time World Series winner (to this point), lifetime .300+ hitter who WILL be in the 3,000 hit club? Yep, barring something unforseen, he's a first-round lock Hall of Famer.

Re: Derek Jeter HOF worthy?

I cant believe that this is even a question!

Jeter is a first ballot HOF

Re: Derek Jeter HOF worthy?

There is no question Jeter is HOF. In addition to his on the field achievements which are legitimate he is popular with the fans which is also a plus in the voting.
