I’m not a big fan of closers in general but Sutter is 100% toward the top of the closer list. To me, the biggest joke in recent history was breaking the tradition of no one getting 100% with Rivera.
Does Rivera deserve HOF? You’d have to be crazy to even blink. Is the lack of ever having a unanimous entry silly? Probably, yes. But, given both of the above, was Rivera the right guy to break that glass ceiling? Not even close. Because he was a Yankee? If he had the same career as an Oriole, Ranger, or Marlin he gets in first ballot but doesn’t sniff 100%. Willie Mays, Ted Williams, Cobb, Ruth, Aaron, not 100% but Rivera? Shirley. More recently you could make a strong case that the following deserved a higher % than Rivera:
Ripken, Gwynn, definitely Rickey, Maddux, Griffey, Jeter.
