New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was one of two players elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday.
Jeter played 20 seasons for the Yankees, winning five World Series titles with the team. Jeter was one vote away from being the second player ever to get a unanimous vote. The first was his teammate Mariano Rivera last year. Jeter had a storied career with the Yankees. Drafted sixth overall in 1992, Jeter made his debut in May 1995. He was a 14-time American League All-Star and was sixth all-time with 3,645 career hits, according to Major League Baseball's website.
— MLB January 21, 2020 Walker was a five-time All-Star and seven-time Gold Glove winner. Two controversial players on the ballot Tuesday included Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds, who both faced accusations of performance enhancing drug use. Both have denied the accusations. Neither received the 75% of the HOF ballots to gain election. This is each player's eighth year on the ballot; players are allowed only 10 years on the ballot.
