New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter is officially a baseball Hall of Famer. Jeter — along with Marvin Miller, Ted Simmons and Larry Walker — were inducted into the Hall on Wednesday, a year after their original induction ceremony was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jeter's status as a Hall of Famer was never in doubt. The instant he retired, it was known Jeter would cruise into the Hall on the first ballot. The only question was whether Jeter would be the second player to receive 100 percent of the vote.
Jeter did make it in on the first ballot, but he wasn't a unanimous selection.
