Baseball-Reference even has Larkin as most similar for Jeter. Now, that'll change as Jeter keeps playing and pulls away, but look at their stats and it's pretty close. All being said, I think Larkin gets in because the HOF has become watered down. As of right now, Barry Larkin is just Jeter without the titles.

Also, when Barry Larkin becomes eligible, expect a Roman-esque opus on his credentials that I will just re-publish every Monday. He's a no-doubter. Mark McGwire is a fucking hall of famer.
