The irony is that for the second half of his career Jeter played with a guy who was the far superior baseball player, but the unique circumstances just fueled Jeter's popularity.

Are you referring to the guy that was on steroids his entire career?

A major factor in the Jeter perfect storm, the image (true or not) of the squeaky clean boy next door amid the sea of cheaters.

I don't know about "squeaky" clean. I recall a time when I was watching a game on TV, and he asserted that a pitched ball had struck him, and was then awarded first base. The slow-mo replay clearly showed that the ball completely missed Jeter. The guys in the booth even praised him for his dishonesty, saying something like, "Well you have to give him credit for doing whatever it takes to get to first base and help his team." Just a cringe-worthy moment for the youth of America everywhere to see this icon of the game cheating for his team.

Reminds me of ARod swatting the ball out of the pitcher's hand on a close play at first against the Red Sox and claiming it happened as a result of his natural running motion.

Didn't he yell out got it or something while running the bases on a pop fly and got the infielder to look away long enough to drop the ball?

Pretty sure that was a game in Toronto. Definitely happened.
