The Captain | The Story Behind Derek Jeter

[@RatedKwong1]

crazy how identical his career is to Kobe's in the NBA from being drafted in 96 to winning young and their last game being a memorable ending. RIP Kobe.

[@thekidruss]

Only thing is Jeter got drafted in 1992..just making things up as you go huh

[@keidrinwilliam3085]

@@thekidruss but his rookie year was 96 that’s probably why he said that

The Captain. The Legend. The man who led the NY Yankees back to the topermost.

[@TheHossman27]

He had help. He was only 25 when the Yankees won the 4 th title. Bunch of veteran superstars on those teams. He was capt since 2003. And with the huge payroll advantage still only won once. Not a great job captain.

@@TheHossman27 any player who has ever won a WS has had help. Thank you for stating the obvious. Jeter was at the epicenter of an influx of young talent that completely turned around the Yankees organization

[@cjtrules1]

Another reason he's a Yankees legend: His #2 was the last single digit number to be retired. The others: Billy Martin(1), Babe Ruth(3), Lou Gehrig(4), Joe DiMaggio(5), Joe Torre(6), Mickey Mantle(7), Yogi Berra(8), Bill Dickey(8), Roger Maris(9). That is absolutely Yankees legend status.

@@cjtrules1 Just because it is uncommon doesn’t take away from the fact that zero is indeed a single digit number that has yet to be retired by the Yankees.

He has the best memory of anyone I've ever seen, they say Greg Maddox can remember signing an autograph in 1997 today, he wouldn't sign for the same person twice, could be bullshit, Jeter signed 16 baseball cards for me in Savannah Ga when he was 17, he played for the Greensboro Hornets, from what I've heard, he would remember me today, I sure wish I could ask him, he was by far the nicest kid on Earth, he didn't have to, he stood and talked to me for a good 12 to 15 minutes, if I live to be a 100, I'll never forget it, THE CAPTAIN

Crazy to think that if Jeter wasn't good enough, Steinbrenner would of traded away one of the greatest closers to ever grace the game.

[@JT-xp3in]

DJ is a great leader and legend. Let's also recognize that, in a league famous for it's lack of parity, he happened to be on a franchise that was absolutely committed to winning, paying for all the talent int he world, etc, in order to be competitive every year. He just was the face of it. Let's put it this way, if we put A-Rod on the yankees in 1995, he'd probably have a fistful of rings too.

[@josephyodiceyodice5990]

Just what we needed: another retired Yankee that we never stop hearing about. What is it about the Yankees that they must always be the subject of so much hype. Derek Jeter was a very good ballplayer who played a very long time on some very good teams. But he was not all that special - Average fielder. Average speed. Average power. Solid, consistent, hitter. 0 MVPs I'd have taken the Colorado Rockies Troy Tulowitzki over him in Tulo's prime !

[@jonm8895]

Jeter, one of the most overrated players at his position. Below average defensively and an above average hitter.

[@markmacintyre5628]

@@lavellrobinson1648 Rated the worst Short stop in the time he played based on the new war system they have. Actually rated one of the worst defense players in that time period. Was a slap hitter and yes playing that many years as a slap hitter you better get 3'000 hits. Yes he had a few cool plays in the playoffs that people remember but if your in the playoffs every year because of the team your on its bound to happen. 98 percent of the team he's cheering on someone else that did something great in the playoffs if you look back,, roles players,, and the other every day players. Etc. I'm a die hard Yankee fan be in a realistic person and never got the hype at the end of his career,, he was average,,, below even. Just because you say and do all the right things doesn't make you a great baseball player,, great guy sure and that is where people get confused I think. Hope this helps

[@_____0__]

Stats r never the full story. Look at bonds and trout. Never won. Id take a hit over A strikeout any day. Arod never won without jeter. While intangibles shouldnt way that much on winning, at the pro level it does bc when u play with the best, u have to have the mental strength and confidence. Bonds stats was the value of 5 players, but jeter team mentality rubs off up and down the 40 man roster. Asking for max contract, putting blame via the media, all affects how others play. Still with that said. Jeters numbers in the playoffs was no slouch. More hrs than trout and bonds combined. Theres a reason why other baseball players say good things about Jeter.

[@markmacintyre5628]

@@_____0__ Jeter did nothing in 2009. Yes A rod is a douchebag but he is on another level as far as playing baseball then Jeter. A rod won that championship for the Yankees in 2009 period,, yes Godzilla helped a lot in the WS but A rod got them there basically by myself. I like Jeter and I'm glad he was a Yankee,, good average slap hitter and a below average Short stop. Actually rated the worst defense player in his time frame from the new war system,, look it up,, Just because you say and do the right things does not make you a good baseball player,, good guy sure.
