I say 98%.

I say the same % that men?s basketball misses 3s
88%
There are some that don’t like his political views and such.
Never forget watching the Braves years ago when Skip Carey would say that there were 1000's of fans there disguised as empty seats.
I'm going to guess 84%. The HOF writers always come up with some BS reason to not vote for a player.
Even Babe Ruth didn't get 100% of the vote.
The media should not vote on the HOF. It should be 100% former players.
With 51% of votes tabulated Chipper is at 98.6 percent, Vlad Guerrero at 94.5 and Jim Thome at 92.6
95
I say 95%
If the kid wasn't unanimous, no way Chipper will be.
56% of the votes have been counted. Chipper is at 98.3 percent. This could be a huge class if voting holds, of course lot of votes left to count but here are the ones right now with enough votes to be inducted:
Chipper Jones - 98.3
Vlad Guererro - 95.0
Jim Thome - 93.3
Trevor Hoffman - 78.6
Edgar Martinez - 77.3
Long way to go yet.
Chipper was one of the smartest hitters to ever play. Prolly the smartest of his time...maybe second to bonds. Loved watching him play.
However, as fun as he was to watch on the diamond he's equally as cringeworthy on his hunting show he does nowadays.
Damn, it's a weak class this year minus Larry Wayne.
Other than Brooks Robinson, Chipper was the best I ever saw at charging slow rollers and bunts and making that off balance throw for the out. He had a dang strong arm too, especially when he was younger. Chipper would boot a routine grounder every now and then. Watching the Braves hasn't been the same since Larry Wayne retired.
