Anyone who thinks this guy is not the second greatest SS EVER. Is Wrong.
Anyone who thinks they could do anything he could do on or off the field.
Is Wrong.
To do it in NY, in the Steingrabber era, through the steroid era, hard for anyone, impossible for most. I mean C'mon, the Yankees and MLB have made more money on his #2 Jersey and merchandise than they are ever gonna pay him. (his Jersey has been in the top ten for over ten years in sales) He has earned a lot more than he has been given especially when you compare it to the Bankers, and Hedge fund guys who basically just ruin the world with their greed, and avarice. Derek Jeter is a true class act in a very crass time to be alive, and his existence helps me to continue to do the right thing every day. Just Realize that he will also be close to the top hitters all time when he retires, and he is 4,000 times more effective, and a billion times more mentally stable than Pete Rose or Ty Cobb. Sanity should count for something, gentlemen. Check the scoreboard on the Rings, and shaaaaaddduppaboutit, fuggggheddahboutit! Jeter Haters are just green with envy. I don't want to be him, I want to live in a world where there are more of him than the Haters. Too bad it ain't so.[/quote:0b0a5683ce]
HOF has nothing to do with class otherwise half the players in there shouldn't be. It's about stats, and he is not even close the #2 best SS ever.
There being a Homer and being a blind Homer, you are the 2nd.
