It’s that time of year again when the Hall of Fame releases its latest ballot. And we analyze it for you so you don’t have to!
First timers:
Derek Jeter
Not only will Jeter cruise to Cooperstown, he could follow in the footsteps of teammate Mariano Rivera and be a unanimous selection. He should be; the guy is sixth all-time in hits. I’ve never understood the claims that Jeter was overrated. He was a great, great player. And that’s coming from a Yankees hater!
Other guys
There are some very good ballplayers making their first appearance on a Hall of Fame ballot this year.
