Jeter would have caught Rose if Jeter had the drive to last in the game for as long as it would take to catch Rose, regardless of where or how he played. Rose would have kept going if he could have found a team to take him. Jeter doesn't have that mentality, so he is going out now as a decent player but on his own terms. More power to him for that. You don't want to see another Rickey Henderson situation, trucking around indie minors teams trying to find any MLB club to take him. That's just sad IMO.
