It is almost impossible to compare to the criteria of "first ballot" regarding players from different generations...voting committees and the way they vote have changed. We can't keep comparing different eras without taking this into account.
Chipper was the dominant consistent force at 3B in his league for well over a decade putting up phenominal stats along the way and also keeping his name clean in a dirty era. First ballot all the way!
