    HOF is over rated anyway. Who gives a phuck who makes it and who dont. When it was a all white HOF it was great. Now its a piece of shit.

    Chipper is ready to retire and get on with his real life, so I'm told. 2 more years MAX.

    I think he's borderline but will most likely get in. Career .300 hitter with 424 HR's and a switch hitter. Also has a ring which helps the cause and has good number in the post season.

    If the voters are going to keep all the steroid users out of the hall, they have to let him in, otherwise they won't even have an induction ceremony most years

    I would say yes Hall of Famer. My vote might be biased because I love the Braves. I still think he would get in, but probably not on the first try.

    At this moment, he's probably in, but not on the first ballot...

    If he plays another 3-5 years and hits the 3000 hits/500 HR milestones, he's a sure-fire first ballot HOF'er...

    Not a Braves fan, never will be, not a Chipper fan either, but this baseball fan knows he was one of this generations greatest switch hitter. Belongs in the hall with his .402 lifetime OBA alone.

    He is the only switch hitter in Major League Baseball history to have a .300+ career batting average and 400 or more home runs.

    Only Eddie Murray has more switch hit RBI's in the history of the game.

    Chipper is to this generation, what Ernie Banks was to my dad's generation, what Paul Molitor was to my big brothers generation.

    First ballot Hall of Fame numbers, first ballot Hall of Famer.
