When he retires does he have a chance? MLB has never had a unamious hall of famer. Tom Seaver was the closest receiving 98.84% of votes, Ripken received 98.53%.
ETA: do you think he deserves 100% of votes?

Somebody will refrain from voting for him to make a statement.

This. Hall of Fame voters are douche-lords.

There have been plenty of guys better than Jeter who should've been unanimous inductees but weren't. So no. There will always be some voter who doesn't vote for a player no matter how great he was.

I would think that Rivera, Pedro Martinez, Griffey, and Randy Johnson would have better chances. I'm sure I'm missing some names too.

ETA: Maddux has the best chance in recent years to be first ballot next year

Babe Ruth wasn't, so nobody ever will be.

They were first-ballot... they just weren't unanimous.
Which is retarded for the sake of being retarded.
Well, if Babe Ruth wasn't unanimous, then Derek Jeter shouldn't be either! Okay, so voters being stupid back then gives the ones now the right to be stupid? Dumb.

You don't think there is at least ONE Yankee hater voter who would do it out of spite?
Greg maddux, Rivera, etc deserves the honor more than jeter... Not sure why you singled out jeter.

Jeter won't be
Rivera will if anyone. Along with his playing career, a lot of media attention has been focusing on how good of a person he actually is this past year or so. That goes a long way for voters I think

Mo Rivera should be unanimous. He's the Jerry Rice of closers.

Because I stumbled upon articles from 2011 and 2012 that made arguments that he should be
