Default Who can you compare Derek Jeter going back to 1869.

I just love how on a team with an average salary of $200 million, it is JETER's intangibles that win championships for New York.

On a team with the best coaching staff money can buy, it is Jeter and his clutch hitting who wins championships.

On a team with an all-star at every position for the last decade and a half, it is Jeter and his gutsy plays who wins championships.

On a team that has the absolute best pitching staff they can buy (not develop), it is Jeter and his great leadership that wins championships.

On a team with arguably the best shortstop in history (ARod- who was forced to play out of position, then lambasted by the press for not being Brooks Robinson, and getting no support from his "teammate" and leader, who minus this year is notorious for starting seasons slowly, yet still not publicly supporting his teammate who started slowly, who makes a mere 19 million as opposed to the overpaid guy who makes 25 million), yet if they win this year it will be JETER who gets the credit for winning another championship for New York.
