I am in general suspicious of unanimous votes, because it often indicates groupthink and a lot of yes men.
Besides, as far as HOF enshrinement goes, the induction percentage is just trivial trivia. As DiMaggio and Jimmy Foxx demonstrate, it's not an indication of anything significant. No one, including here, looks at induction percentages when ranking Pre-War players. No one anywhere says Robin Yount is better than Joe DiMaggio (And I say that as a Robin Yount fan).

Great post right there....
Again... Jeter got the highest-ever percentage of votes for any position player in the history of baseball.
So in the immortal words of Chrissie Hynde…. Stop Your Sobbing!
