Offensively, no. Defensively, yes. He also played for the largest market in terms of sports, so he had that going for him.
If he accrued the same offensive numbers in say, Detroit, he'd still be in the HOF just without five rings to show for it.And if he played in Detroit, probably not 1st ballot.
He might have still been first Ballot. 3000 hits basically guarantees first ballot if you didn't use steroids or gamble. He would be Paul Molitor without the rings more or less

a 5 time world series champion and the face of the greatest franchise in the history of sports for 20 years isn't a first ballot hall of famer.....I would love to hear what is in your eyes.

At one time he was the most overrated player, but he has found his way into what I like to call the Bryce Harper Paradox. He has been called overrated so many times that he is underrated now
Bryce Harper is a 2x MVP... and he's not even 30 years old yet... WTF you talking about? lol
Bonds, DiMaggio, Mantle, Musial are the only other players to win 2 MVPs before age 29.

If he played in Detroit he would have been dropped from the ballot and would have to wait for the veterans committee to fix the writers mistake. I think he compares very closely to Trammell.

When he comes out in this game his 99 will have more in game stats than anyone ever and y’all gunna be whining about metrics.
The might even throw a 5 gg milestone with perfect defending on him.

Social media is a cesspool. If that's how you form your opinions than I feel bad for you.

I could not agree more with you, but everything professional sports is run through social media whether you like it or not. Maybe there is in your circle, but there is no sitting down at a bar and discussing baseball anymore

I’ll give social media credit for one thing: dampening my passion for sports, thus allowing me to miss games, events, game 7s, quit fantasy sports and on and on.
Watching grown men tear each other about which dude should have his plaque or bust in a museum, call each other names for their fandom, cry about ref calls or perceived slight by the league, make 50 tweets a day about it, or long [censored] exposes of their theories on the Athletic like they’re scouts or covering the beat for 40 years…
Basically I loved sport, but people ruined it, one hot take at a time.

5 Rings, Captain of the NY Yankees, 3400 hits, “the flip”, “the catch”, and one of the clutches players of Al time. Yeah, pretty sure that’s a hall of fame career.

No doubt!!! And for the record I hate the Yankees. Jeter, however, played the game right and more importantly represented the Yankees brand on and off the field with dignity and class!!! This is just a troll thread.
