For the second consecutive year, the New York Yankees will have one of their iconic former players inducted into the Hall of Fame.
After receiving 99.7% of the votes, Derek Jeter will now join his former teammate Mariano Rivera in Cooperstown. However, Jeter should have absolutely been voted into the Hall of Fame unanimously by every single voter.
Jeter will also become the 20th player in franchise history to enter the Hall of Fame as a former Yankee. In total, the Yankees are also slated to now have 61 former players and managers featured in Cooperstown.
