Agree. My beef is with the names you mentioned above as well as, if not more, than Jeter.
But at the end of the day, the definition of a HOFer is whether you are in or not. Doesn't matter if a player was elected after he died or many years after his career or unanimously in his first year of eligibility. Everyone gets a plaque on the inside of the building and the right to say that they were/are a HOFer.
