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

Jeter is vastly under-rated by those outside of New York who tend to think he is overhyped by the New York media. Regardless of what city he played in, his offensive statistics are worthy of first ballot Hall of Fame induction.

However, he is vastly over-rated by those that cite his "intangibles" as being the reason for his greatness. Jeter has had countless opportunities to shine in the post-season and consequently he is going to come through big in some situations but for the most part his post-season hitting with men on base and in scoring position indicates anything but clutch hitting.
