This exact same argument comes up every few years: Will this player or that player be the first unanimous selection. It never happens and never will.
That being said, I don't understand the angst in the least over whether or not a player receives 97 percent of the vote or 100 percent of the vote. A player only needs 75 percent of the vote for election, and the plaques are not grouped by voting percentage at the Hall of Fame, anyway. It's not like the players who are elected with 75 percent of the vote or the Veterans Committee have their plaques exiled to a storage closet or a third floor bathroom.
