COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — On an induction day that seemed for months would never come, New York Yankees great Derek Jeter went into the Hall of Fame on Wednesday with three others in front of a crowd dominated by Yankee colors, logos and his signature uniform No. 2. Larry Walker, Ted Simmons and late labor pioneer Marvin Miller were honored alongside Jeter, and the career of each provided poignant moments during baseball’s first induction ceremony since July 21, 2019. The 2020 ceremony was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021 ceremony, after initially being slated to be a television-only event, was postponed so that fans would be in attendance. Most of those fans turned out for Jeter, the celebrated captain of the Yankees who led baseball’s most storied franchise to seven pennants and five World Series titles during a 20-year career in which he had 3,465 hits, the sixth-highest total in big league history. The ceremony began with a bittersweet video presentation marking the lives of the 10 Hall of Famers who died during the 26 months since the last induction day. The video was narrated by Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench, who was unable to attend after testing positive for COVID-19. Walker hit .313 with 383 career homers over a 17-year career and won the 1997 NL MVP award while playing for the Colorado Rockies. He becomes the first Rockies player to go into the Hall with the team’s cap emblazoned on his plaque. Simmons was selected by an era committee during the 2019 winter meetings. The eight-time All-Star catcher retired after the 1988 season before going on to a long post-playing career as a scout and executive.
