He is also an amazing defensive shortstop. Players that only have great defense, rarely get credit.
Last night's game was just amazing. I got a bit teary eyed watching it unfold. Jeter is not THE greatest player, but he is one of the greatest. Just my personal opinion.“When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'.”

Five Gold Glove awards...not bad for an 'average' shortstop, huh?"Stand for the flag ~ Kneel for the fallen"

I salute Derek Jeter. I salute my fellow New Englanders who showed him the respect he deserves this weekend at Fenway. Link to info about today's game, with some video footage.

http://nesn.com/2014/09/derek-jeters...t-fenway-park/) the Fenway crowd gave Jim "Catfish" Hunter an extended standing ovation in the Hall of Famer's last career start. Back then the Yankee-Red Sox rivalry was white hot, but the Boston fans showed a ton of class, and that moment remains with me still.

Jeter is not the greatest Yankee, not even close.
That being said when compared to Keith Olberman........
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
