New York Yankees SS Derek Jeter deserves HOF unanimity too

Last week, Mariano Rivera made history in receiving 100 percent of the Hall of Fame vote. Next year, his New York Yankees teammate Derek Jeter deserves the same honor and recognition.

Of course, both Jeter and Rivera are two completely different types of players. Mo was the closer so dominant, the game was practically over with his first pitch. Jeter was a shortstop whose contact hitting broke the mold in a generation focused more on power.

And despite being an anomaly of his time, Derek Jeter was still great. Women and young girls loved him.
