The only pitcher that comes to mind is Whitey, but he probably goes in behind Jeter.... right?
I would rate Berra higher. It's hard to argue he isn't one of the top 3 catchers of all time. Jeter doesn't rank anywhere near that high as a shortstop. Then again, Jeter's iconic status derives from much more than his baseball talent and stats.
