Mariano Rivera stormed through the Baseball Hall of Fame doors last year with the first 100% total vote. This year, his longtime teammate Derek Jeter is on the ballot for the first time. Now, the speculation is whether or not Jeter will join Rivera in the “100 club”?
I say the answer is no.
Don’t @ me, hear me out. The Hall of Fame vote is completely unpredictable. Think of all the players prior to Rivera that didn’t get a 100% vote. Guys like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr., and Greg Maddux.
There’s no automatic answer to the question.
