"It might actually happen. With 112 ballots made public
so far in the BBWAA vote for the Hall of Fame, Ken Griffey Jr. has been
named on all of them. While around 350 ballots remain to be seen,
there’s a chance one of the finest baseball players of his generation
could go into Cooperstown, for the first time, with 100 percent of the
vote."
If not Griffey, then Jeter may be the first to finally break this tradition.
Not to say that this means that either of them are the greatest player ever ... it's just a tradition that isn't cute or interesting anymore.
