my favorite non-Mariner. hell, probably my favorite player over the last decade outside Ichiro, and thats with a declining skill set and poor(er) teams around him.
Just always reminded me of a Cal Ripken. no reason not to respect the guy. Just felt like a "baseball" player.
I get why people are down on him. people hate holidays too

Exactly. Mariano deserved all of his kudos last year--he's the greatest closer of all time, and if he was a lifetime Marlin he'd STILL be the greatest and STILL would have deserved every standing ovation!
Jeter's a nice guy, excellent ball player, but it's blown out of proportion due to the pinstripes.
Great play by Jeter, horrible play by Giambi who if he slides, is safe.Scottemojo":1liw6iq2 said:I love Jeter. And I hate the Yankees.

I agree, but I don't think folks are blaming the over hype or the Yankees.LymonHawk":3qa55lnu said:hawksfansinceday1":3qa55lnu said:The overhype wouldn't have existed without him wearing that uni.Sports Hernia":3qa55lnu said:The only thing I hate about Jeter is the overhype and the uniform he wears, That's it.Smellyman":3qa55lnu said:
Nor would he have five rings! LOL!
Was he over hyped? Sure, but how is that his fault? Attack FOX is you want, but to attack Jeter is disingenuous.
