Quite possibly it's the same moron who did this to Griffey, denying him unanimous election. That said, congrats to Mr. Jeter for an exemplary career and honor.

I’ll make this very simple....enough already with Jeter not getting 100% of the vote. Ruth, Cobb, Mathewson, Johnson, Wagner, Mays, Musial, Young, Williams, Aaron, etc., etc., etc., ALL weren’t unanimous, and that is a much greater tragedy than Jeter falling short. Bottom line is ALL of our National Pastime’s immortals merit the 100% honor so why is everyone making such a big deal about Jeter falling one vote short.....get over it.
