I was looking at some of the stats today and trying to make sense of them.
Walker 76.6% after 10 years
Jeter. 99.7% in first year
Walker Bave.313 OBP .400 SLG .565 OPS .965 War (baseball Ref 72.7)
Jeter Bave.310 OBP .377 SLG .440 OPS .817 War (baseball Red 72.4 )
I know you can do anything with stats , but I thought the above were very highly rated, so I was wondering why it took so long for Walker to be inducted.

The team(s) played for matter more than anything, IMO.
Jeter played a premium position on the biggest stage in baseball and excelled while walker played in relative obscurity in Montreal and Colorado.
How many HOF votes does Phil Rizzuto get had he spent his career outside of NY?
