Where is it written that a player should receive unanimous votes just because he was the face of the Yankees and played SS for 20 years?
He played SS very poorly (Gold Gloves are popularity awards) check his records he was not good.
So basically, some of you think an SS that broke many Yankee hitting records...here is why; he played 20 years hitting in the #2 spot and had Two times more AB & PA than any Yankee in history He should have those Yankee records! He was a singles hitter that played SS...poorly!
Jeter is not in very many top ten MLB records except having over 3,000 hits, having many more At Bats and Plate Appearances and wasn't considered a good SS defensively. He wasn't the player other teams had to worry about beating them, so they pitched to him...he was a very good singles hitter but, not someone that was going to beat you very often.
All this can be looked up and digested, I understand every generation needs a guy to be the Yankee face and popular player...that is the nature of the game.
My question is; does that initial him to a Unanimous Vote? No way!
