Great game for Jeter. I think some are getting caught up in the moment though. He has been an incredible hitter in the post-season, but he is not the reason the Yankees won their rings. Without Mariano Rivera (under a 1.00 ERA in the post-season), Andy Pettite (19-10) and crazy as it sounds, Orlando Hernandez, Jeter's post-season numbers wouldn't amount to any rings.
My top five Yankees:
1. Gehrig
2. Ruth
3. Dimaggio
4. Mantle
5. Mariano Rivera
Someone back there said Dimaggio was over-rated but had a nice swing. I couldn't disagree more. He finished his career with 361 home runs and 369 strikeouts. Pretty incredible hitter.
