Sorry Chipper - not on first ballot

Lets be fair - give a serious look at the stats - maybe he is fully worthy of First Ballot, maybe not...

All Star 8 out of 19 years - good, not HOF material
MVP voting - 1st once, next highest 4th, then 8th - Roger Maris won 2
Bat Avg - one 1st, one 2nd, no more top 3 rank
Runs Scored - highest ever rank is 4th
RBI - highest ever rank is 9th
HR's - one 3rd, one 9th, one 10th

Played long time and "accumulated" good stats because he was pretty much injury free (relatively). But not any earth shattering stats, honestly. Good leadership skills.

It took Joe Dimaggio the third attempt before even he was voted in HOF. Roger Maris won 2 MVP's, set biggest single season record of all time and he is not in HOF.

Verdict = He can play on my team anytime, borderline HOF'er after a few attempts. NO WAY first ballot.
