Two more former Major League Baseball players can wake up today and call themselves an MLB Hall of Famer after yesterday’s vote reveal, former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter and former Colorado Rockies outfielder Larry Walker. Not surprisingly, no former Baltimore Orioles players crossed the 75% threshold required to enter the Hall of Fame.
Personally, I don’t care for the Hall of Fame debates and getting worked up over who votes for which players, it just doesn’t interest me very much. However, I am very happy that Larry Walker will finally take his rightful place in the Hall and I have nothing but respect for Jeter’s career, even if it was in Pinstripes.
