Jeter was elected by the BBWAA with 99.7 percent of the vote, one shy of a unanimous selection. Yet, the Yankee Captain enters the Hall with the second-highest percentage ever and the best of any position player in the history of the game.

Derek Jeter fell one vote short of joining his Yankee teammate Mariano Rivera as unanimous selections into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
