I hate the Yankees, but I have to respect Jeter. For everything he has done, for the man he is, and how he's carried himself on and off the field. He deserved that parting shot. He deserved every bit of it, and it's going to make for a helluva ending scene in a movie someday. That was a special, historic, moment, and I'm glad to have seen it. Farewell Jeter.

He's not a good defensive SS.
Aside from that, he was an incredible baseball player, and obviously a first-ballot HOF'er. If he were playing a position that was more suited to his defensive ability, there would be no criticism at all. He could be the greatest player in the last generation.

Derek Jeter is the best bachelor of all time. How he has managed to bang so much hot pussy and remain uncommitted is really something to admire. He is my hero in so many ways for that. I love Derek Jeter.

He was a good hitter but never really was the "Mr. Clutch" that everyone wants to anoint him.

And unlike most batters, Jeter has enough at bats for that stat to actually mean something. He has pretty much a full season of at bats in the postseason. He is exactly as clutch as he's annointed to be. |

I hated him during the Yankee dynasty, but he stuck around long enough for me to respect his game. He was a hell of a ballplayer and a guy you'd want on your team. Never a great defender, but he was competent, and he was a tremendous hitter for his position.
Baseball will definitely be different without him.

A good, but completely over-hyped player simply due to playing in NY.
Basically Michael Young, but played on great teams instead of shit ones.

Also, in other news, Jeter's final season may have been pedestrian, but holy shit Paul Konerko went out with barely a peep.
.217/5/22 That's sad.

Amazing player. Iconic. The thing I respect most about Jeter is his character, 20 years and you never heard of any scandal....just a class act. One of the greats. Awesome moment tonight, perfect way for him to go out.

That's really remarkable. While guys like Papi have more flashy clutch moments, Jeter could be one of the most consistent clutch players of all time. |
