The 2020 Hall of Fame voting finished up on Tuesday. Derek Jeter and Larry Walker became the newest elected members of the MLB Hall of Fame. Jeter received all but 1 vote, becoming the all-time leading vote-getter for a position player.
Walker got into the Hall by the skin of his teeth. He didn’t even believe he’d make the HoF earlier in the day, sending out this Tweet.
He made the 75% threshold by 6 votes, becoming the second-ever Canadian born HoFer (Fergie Jenkins 1991).
In Phillies related news, Curt Shilling got closer to enshrinement, garnering 70% of the vote.
