Former Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was a lock for enshrinement in the 2020 class for the Baseball Hall of Fame, falling just one vote short of becoming the Hall's second unanimous selection. Larry Walker joined him in being elected by the BBWAA, clearing the 75% margin for election in his 10th and final season on the ballot. They'll be enshrined at the same time as Ted Simmons and Marvin Miller, who were elected in December by the 16-man modern era committee. Beyond the elections of Jeter and Walker, Curt Schilling made significant gains among the electors and now looks like a likely victor in next year's voting. Elsewhere, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens made small gains that suggest that after eight years on the ballot they might have trouble achieving election in their final two seasons of eligibility. • Jeter, Walker elected to the Hall of Fame
