Derek Jeter’s fellow Core Four members sent their congratulations to baseball’s newest Hall of Famer in statements on the Yankees Twitter account on Tuesday. Jeter entered the National Baseball Hall of Fame, falling one vote short of a unanimous selection by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. He received 396 of 397 votes.
Mariano Rivera, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame unanimously last year, said the Yankees captain was a leader they always could count on and that “no moment was too big.”
“It’s going to be a very special day standing next to Derek in Cooperstown this summer,” Rivera wrote.
