Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter now own the largest voting percentage in the history of the Hall of Fame.
Rivera received 100 percent of the vote last year and Jeter fell one short of being unanimous Tuesday when the tallies were revealed. Since we love pitchforks and torches as much as ever, there was an immediate social media posse unleashed to find the one person who did not vote for Jeter.
Let’s keep in mind that one voter represents .0025 of the 397 votes cast. And it obscures the fact that whether you get in by six votes in your 10th and final year on the ballot as Larry Walker did or receive 99.
