Patrick Mahomes among fans upset about Derek Jeter falling 1 vote shy of unanimous HOF pick

Derek Jeter, to the surprise of no one, was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday.

There was one somewhat surprising thing about the announcement however – he wasn’t a unanimous selection as Jeter got 396 of the 397 votes.

He will be joined by Larry Walker, who was inducted in to the HOF in the final of year that he will be on the ballot, which is cool.

The fact that guys like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens still aren’t in the HOF, however, makes this whole thing feel a really silly. But hey, two new former stars will be enshrined in Cooperstown on July 26.

MLB fans – including Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes – really want to find out who the one person was who didn’t vote for Jeter:

How is Derek Jeter not unanimous???? #BaseballHallofFame

It’s insane to me that every single person voted “yes” for Derek Jeter to be in the Hall of Fame except for ONE PERSON.

Their vote shouldn’t count and they should be ashamed of themselves. How do you vote that DEREK JETER shouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame?Deserved to be unanimous

If Jeter had been unanimous they would have lasered his face onto the surface of the moon in his honor, but he wasn’t, so now every baseball writer has to tweet that it’s no big deal he was a vote short.

Jeter would have been unanimous had he kept the Marlins home run statue.

Derek Jeter missed unanimous by one vote.

Just wait until social media finds out who that person was.
