Derek Jeter has finally been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The legendary New York Yankees shortstop joined fellow Class of 2020 inductees Ted Simmons and Larry Walker in Cooperstown on Wednesday for enshrinement along with the late union leader Marvin Miller. Last year’s ceremony was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Nobody was selected from this year’s writers’ ballot and the Hall of Fame’s Era committees postponed their scheduled elections until the upcoming offseason because of the pandemic.
