Listing off the accomplishments of New York Yankees immortal Derek Jeter has been done a million times, and those accomplishments were good enough to get him inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown on the first ballot.
Alongside former Rockies star Larry Walker and Cardinals catcher Ted Simmons, Jeter will be inducted on Tuesday, putting a capstone on one of the greatest careers in modern baseball history. Jeter became the 61st player in baseball history to have been associated with the Yankees to be inducted, and the 24th to go into Cooperstown as a Yankee.
