Now known as the Aaron Rodgers v PACKERS episode. Jordan Love? OMG!

[@lamarravery4094]

I remember when Jeter and A rod just started out and the media showing their friendship. I thought it was cool, 2 young talented players supporting each other and playing baseball. But the problem began when the media started to compare those two. It's the media's fault for instigating their feud. Derek tried hard to not make it worse, but A Rod couldn't be as classy as Jeter, and seemed to add fuel to the fire. Oh, well they're both great ball players and enjoying their retirement, good for them.

[@tfredrick01]

idk i really cant blame Arod for getting a little salty, Arod was far superior player while Jeter was a "good leader" and had a good media image which dont matter especially in baseball.

[@lamarravery4094]

@@tfredrick01 Have you watched the Captain on ESPN? If not, you should watch it, it goes into depth about what happened to their friendship. Very well put together documentary about Jeter's career.

[@tfredrick01]

@@lamarravery4094 Great point, Very well put together documentary about Jeter's career. Lets be honest the media never liked Arod and always fan boyed for Jeter. Why would the documentary be any different

[@argella1300]

I never realized how much Jeter is basically the Larry Bird of baseball, in that he keeps to himself for the most part, doesn’t talk about his drama or personal life to the media much, and when he does talk to the media, he wants to stick to the game

[@djquinn11]

Bird was also one of the most legendary trash talkers on the court.

[@kmena05]

It's like how the KD Curry relationship works Jeter was good to the franchise helped win multiple titles but A Rod was the better player despite that, Curry is the pinnacle of the Warriors franchise he's the face he won a title with the team built w him but then KD joined, KD is the better player all around but Curry is worth more to the franchise 🤔

[@timothygalvin3021]

Its a little different though because the Warriors have won two championships with KD. ARod famously struggled in almost every postseason (09 being the exception) and while he had multiple mvp years, the team underperformed with him from a "winning championships" perspective.

[@718ant5]

Exactly. Good point.

[@yuka7.999]

The better team player is always the BETTER player. Some lack the athletic ability compared to others but will make up for it there ways. Stats don't mean everything.

[@leftbenchplayaa]

Curry is better than KD tho. Before KD joined, curry outplayed him in almost every matchup. There’s a reason why he has 2 MVPs and has had more success than him.

[@andrebundles1037]

Tommywood Curry💯💯💯

[@JoeCracco]

As a NYer and a lifelong Yankees Fan let me save you some time here. A-Rod came to the Yankees as the far superior defensive shortstop, it’s not even close how much more range he had than Jeter, yet he played 3B ONLY because it was “Jeter’s Team.” If Jeter really wanted the best for the team he would have said let Alex play Short, and I’ll play 2nd or 3rd. We won’t even get into the offensive numbers, Jeter was awesome offensively but A-Rod’s numbers were already legendary. Jeter never embraced A-Rod as a Yankee. I don’t think he ever wanted A-Rod there and honestly I think it was all for selfish reasons.

[@bobbywinner9590]

This makes me think of the movie The Other Guys. “You shoulda shot A-Rod!”

[@1utube01]

Gotta say, I like Arod more because of the portrayal of him by fans and media. My maon criticism of him is his discomfort with being a villain in sports. Be the Corporate Champ or heel Stone Cold. But he wanted to be liked, the media sensed it and exploited and attacked it. But, now? He is likely the BEST analyst on baseball shows. And Jeter owns a baseball team. Both ended up doing great.

[@mrmacross]

If ARod was drafted by the Yankees and Jeter the Mariners, ARod would get a lot of hate but for a lot of different reasons than why he got hate throughout this career.

[@catherinem8558]

[@chriscarlson516]

These guys have far more in common than differences. Jeter is #6 in hits, Arod is #4 in HR. They won a world series together, share the left side of Yankee Stadium, and are two of the highest paid baseball players ever. They also are now approaching middle age and have a better understanding of the mistakes either of them may have made when they were younger. I bet they are closer than anyone knows, but they are smart enough to keep it private now.

[@originalbabygal]

Not trying to be funny but it kinda sounds like they were lovers at first. Perhaps they love of baseball and their respect for each other’s talent brought them together

[@davidcox3196]

They both dated so many beautiful women. Only man who dated more was the late singer Prince.

[@CowboyRibeye]

A-Rod knew that Jeter was a below mid SS before everyone else did

[@Jaysun1]

Arod may have better stats and more God given talent, but Jeter has that clutch gene in the big moments and played the game with honor. Hell even most Red Sox fans respect Jeter!

[@davidminor4213]

This friendship will never truly be mended until one of them passes away. Sad

[@ipwinston]

I was lucky enough to get great seats at a game in the late aughts when A-Rod was at bat. I heckled him, shouting "Madonna doesn't really love you!" and he turned and stared two holes into my soul. I stayed quiet the rest of the game.
