    Derek Jeter came within 1 vote of being a unanimous pick, Who didn't vote for him ?

    Given his late career steroid use, he doesn't deserve to be in.

    I don’t get the outrage. Look at all the greats throughout history that haven’t been unanimous.

    Why don't they just make it simple: a player gets in or he doesn't. There's no need to release vote totals; all it does is start useless arguing. If Willie Freakin' Mays isn't unanimous, I could care less that an obvious inductee is left off one or two ballots.

    Because within the last few years Mariano Rivera got the unanimous vote and he only pitched once every 3 or 4 games while Jeter played daily and impacted every WS ring greatly

    I like this. Let the results stay private. It really is pass/fail with the line at 75%. Getting 100% or 78% means nothing to getting in.

    There been far better players that didn’t get every vote. Maybe it a asshole move but dunno why he more deserving of every vote than many greater players who didn’t get them all?

    Jeter was a great player but nowhere close to one of the greatest of all time. Far better players didn't get the unanimous vote either.

    Bingo. I know it blasphemy but put him on some shit team and nobody sucking him off. Playing on the team that spent the most made him.

    They love the useless arguing as it keeps baseball in the spotlight. Baseball needs all the attention it can get.
