Jeter was good but his name is mostly due to playing under the spotlight in the biggest US city of all and remaining remarkably injury free for like 20 seasons. He was a clean non steroid guy ,as far as is known, maybe about average with the glove, or a tad less ?
Not a HR/ RBI machine like an A-rod at his peak.
He hit for great average, great baserunner, did everything correctly and didn't make stupid mis-steaks.

He did this for 20 years on the biggest stage in MLB and bedded tons of primo babes at the same time.

He's an icon as much for his longevity and women vs. his career with a .300 + batting average, 3,400 + hits, and giving all he had on the field. He's definitely worthy of HOF, but only when evaluating his whole career.
On any given year, he was probably not the best SS in the game that year, but he was there every year consistently, like a Cal Ripken

Walker had 7 gold gloves, 3 batting titles, 1 MVP.

In his MVP season his stats were better away from Coors field than they were at home.

Its a new era boys. Stuff like WAR are measurable these days. His stats are legit.

I can make the case that Walker was a better player then Jeter but I won’t waste my time.
Anyway Walker certainly deserves to be in

Jeter put on the pin stripes that’s like signing your name for 200 points

Walker's OPS was 15th in MLB history....the list of men below him is a train of HOF

Absolutely. With that short porch, he would have a plaque at Yankee stadium.
