First of all, I can't think of any.

Career stats... .284 BA, 630 HR (6th all time), 1836 RBIs (15th), 10 straight Gold Gloves.

Yes, he is the first first round pick to be elected to the HOF and he is the top vote getter ever, 99.30 (437 votes out of possible 440) and that should be applauded, but...

Who are the 3 a$$hats from the Baseball Writers' Association of America that voted against him? Unreal. I know both the BWAA and the HOF never release the individual names of the voters with their results, but come on man, man up in your individual columns to America and America's game and tell us your reason for not voting him in AND don't say it was because Ty Cobb or Babe Ruth didn't get 100% of the vote on their ballots years ago before you were even born and you wanted to keep this tradition going. That reason just doesn't hold water with me.

Congrats to Jr. You were a class act and I enjoyed watching you play the game.

Jr is one of the best players to ever take the field! You are right, who are the 3 guys who voted no???? I'm guessing those guys never watched him play.

Should have never left Seattle

The Mariners only scored 10 runs in the 4 losses to NYY in the 2001 ALCS, all while Mike Cameron was borderline terrible in that series, so I think he would've reached a WS that year at the very least if he stayed.

The sweetest swing that I ever saw.

I agree he was never the same after he left the Mariners,his numbers just kept going down it seemed as soon as he joined the Reds in addition to the injuries he had.

Loaded team. I'm a yankee fan so glad the owner couldn't keep that group together

It led to my favorite World Series of all time too, so I'm alright with it too.

That's a nightmare. Rivera blown save

That was the topper, but it was mostly for the 2 huge comebacks in NY off of Kim.
