A-Rod was a beast of a hitter. The one thing he didn't learn was a bit of humility when he was playing with Jeter. Does humility count for HOF voting? It shouldn't but apparently it does.

He was a very good defensive player as well IMO. Clearly upper tier all time great in terms of performance. On the whole very unlikeable guy which will not help his cause.
