Derek Jeter, Larry Walker Headline 2020 MLB Hall of Fame Class

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter headlines the Baseball Hall of Fame's Class of 2020, falling just one vote shy of becoming the second player ever to be voted in unanimously.

Jeter is joined by former Expos and Rockies outfielder Larry Walker to round out the two-person class.

The Yankees' long-time captain was a 14-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger winner. He led New York to five World Series titles, seven AL pennants and 16 postseason appearances. And it wasn't until his 14th season, at the age of 34, that Jeter played in a game in which his team had been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
