Im with you on that, Dave, the Yankees do not inspire.

Although, they have had some inspiring players. Gehrig and DiMaggio are two (maybe the only two). Clearly Jeter is not in their league, however, he does do what he does (I think).

And what he does is most akin to what John McGraw did as a player (and yes, Jeter is also not in McGraw's league - in any sense). Perhaps more like a Pepper Martin, although I don't know enough about him to draw sufficient parallels.
