Derek Jeter may be a Hall of Famer, but his induction into Cooperstown won’t happen until 2021. The Miami Marlins CEO and co-owner will have to wait a year due to the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic that has temporarily shut down Major League Baseball until further notice.
Per Randy Miller of NJ.com, “Yankees great Derek Jeter and the rest of 2020 Baseball Hall of Fame class are expected to get word soon that this year’s ceremony, scheduled for July 26, will be pushed back until 2021.”
Jeter, who took over as the Miami Marlins CEO after the 2017 season was a near-unanimous decision for the hallowed fraternity.
