People, y'all are confusing individual voting with aggregates. The way it should work is, as a voter, I should vote if I feel he should be in the HOF. Yes or No. I should not vote based on what other people are voting or how Jeter compares to others already in (or not in).
However it has become a popularity vote contest, and not a HOF worthy consideration. A place where I, as a voter, can make a 'statement'.
If it truly was an HOF worthy consideration, then I can't see how Jeter wouldn't get 100% of the votes. If someone who voted can make their case as to why Jeter shouldn't be in, and not as it relates to other votes or other HOFers, then I can listen to that. If it's based on how others would vote, or if Jeter is more/less worthy than (insert name here), well, that's just pure and simple horseshit.
Signed,
Yankee hater and Jeter admirer
