The captain is headed to the hall with some history in his pocket. Although Derek Jeter fell a single vote short of a unanimous selection, number 2 did set a record for the most voting percentage by a position player at 99.7%! It’s official everyone, as Derek and Larry Walker, (Who became the first Rockie ever to head to the HOF in his final year ok the ballot) are headed to Cooperstown, NY.
PS: The ceremony will take place in late July. Jeter and Walker will make their speeches in front of other Hall of Famers, including the only unanimous one in Mariano Rivera, in Cooperstown.
