Jeter....Unanimous???

[rightwinger]

He doesn't get my vote.

Fine with me if he gets into the Hall of Fame...but not with 100% of the votes.

Here's why:




Jeter could have declined the ball, and told Lopez to put it on Ebay....would have changed the kid's life.


Christian Lopez, Who Caught Jeter's 3,000th Hit Ball, Has No Regrets About Giving It Back. No regrets. The Derek Jeter fan who gave back the historic 3,000th-hit ball that his idol blasted into the left-field stands -- a memento worth about $250,000 -- yesterday said he'd do it again "100 times."Apr 20, 2016

Christian Lopez, Who Caught Jeter's 3,000th Hit Ball, Has No ...



Soooo.....Jeter lost my respect, and my vote.


We'll see how he makes it....tonight.

The fan who gave it back showed class, so did Jeter

Jeter got 99.7% of the vote.



Excellent.

Jeter was a great player but not the best Shortstop I have seen in my lifetime

Ripken and ARod were better

Brandon Steiner, the CEO of Steiner Sports, which works with the Yankees selling memorabilia, said Lopez was given tickets to the rest of the team's 32 home games, worth at least $44,800.

The freebies include four tix for the uber-pricey Legend section for one game, worth a total of $6,000, then four tickets for each of the rest of the games in the stadium's Championship section, where seats go for $350.

Lopez was sitting in a $65 seat when he caught Jeter's massive home-run hit.

The captain himself gave Lopez three signed bats, three signed balls and three signed jerseys.

Steiner said he initially pegged the 3,000-hit ball itself at $100,000.


The kid who caught the ball is a real fan who refused to commercialize the ball

"He was close, missing out on just one ballot, finishing at 99.7 percent. That gives Jeter the second-highest vote total ever."
Derek Jeter and Larry Walker voted into Hall of Fame


Perhaps that one writer saw Jeter the way I did......or, simply penalized him for lack of range.

Anyone who has followed Jeter throughout his career knows he’s fake class personified. I’ll sleep well knowing it’s eating him alive that he didn’t get in unanimously

All of those young women he used can rejoice.

Jeter was a great player but not the best Shortstop I have seen in my lifetime

Ripken and ARod were better

Ozzie. That is all.

Ozzie was better defensively than any of them, but not as good a bat

Ah well you said shortstop, not batter.
