We are talking about Jeter.

It should be noted that you can 'cherry pick' and show certain statistics, while not showing others (post-season stats for instance) and create your own mystery.

You could include Clemente's stats without the 3,000 hits and probably get the same results.

Some players transcend their raw stats.

In many cases their impact on the game is much more difficult to measure, but may be more accurate than any other Hall-of-Fame monitor.

FYI - this is all my humble opinion.

I did not vote because the presented statistics are likely to result in the afore-mentioned inaccuracy. .

If we are talking about Jeter it should be noted that he has 5 gold gloves not 1.

I would not consider comparing HR for any player who has fewer than 500 HR as that is not a stat that has much meaning for such players.

I never realized how close Roberto Alomar and Johnny Damon are statistically before, never even thought to look at them together.

What was the reason for ruining the OPs thread? I figured it was Jeter and was still able to respond accordingly without ruining it for those that wanted to base if off the given stats. I agree the stats are being cherry picked and mentioned as much in my response as well. If you believe there would need to be more stats you can just vote for that as that was an option without ruining the game/conversation for the OP.

My apologies to all I offended...that was never my intent.

Voted on line 4 after looking at the original post. I did not decipher the player in question, and although the stats presented were pretty juicy I would have wanted the numbers on hits and rbi's to finalize an opinion. That said, if 3,465 was listed as a lifetime hits total he becomes a mortal lock. This coming, post outing of the subject, from a lifelong Yankee hater who has as one of his most memorable baseball moments walking home from grammar school on a lovely early fall day and hearing the call of Mazeroski's series winning home run over a transistor radio.

interesting results so far
