Jeter is the one who has the chance of those three... But the answer is NO... There are dumb voters that just wont vote for first year players... NO MATTER WHAT...

I think that this effect is pretty overstated now since the recent purge of voters who haven't covered the game recently. But at the same time I suppose it only takes one.

Being a relief pitcher all but guarantees that Rivera won't be unanimous. The Hall of Fame has generally been too generous in voting relievers in, but not with particularly high percentages.

I think Rivera might have a chance at it as well.

No but best chance of the three
No because of off field problems
no because he wasn't the most loved person outside of NY.

None of the three have a snowballs chance.

Rivera was a reliever.
Jones was in a "small" market.
Jeter has warts that SOMEONE will use as an excuse.

Best chance, in order, IMHO...

Jones
Jeter
Rivera

100% correct, and if it doesn't happen for Jeter it just won't happen ever. All three of these guys deserve 100%.

Jeter is a for-sure HOFer. But a 100% candidate?

If Griffey didnt get 100%...

If Ripken didnt get 100%...

If Aaron didnt get 100%...

If Schmidt didnt get 100%...

If Maddux didnt get 100%...

If...
