NEW YORK (AP) – Derek Jeter has had as close to perfect a career as a major leaguer can have. Still, five years from now, don’t expect the New York Yankees’ captain to be a unanimous selection to baseball’s Hall of Fame.
That’s not a knock. He’d be in pretty impressive company.
Babe Ruth. Ty Cobb. Ted Williams. Willie Mays. Hank Aaron. Cal Ripken Jr. all dominated the game and all came up short. Tom Seaver, the top vote-getter by percentage, was left off five ballots.
If there’s anyone worthy of 100 percent approval from the voters in the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, Jeter could be it.
