He's a clutch performer, 5 time champ, we know all of that. You can't look at his RBI's due to his spot in the lineup but this season has propelled Derek Jeter from a 1st ballot great Yankee to one of the all-time greats of baseball. The man is 38 years old and isn't letting up. He's improved his power and sporting a .326 batting average. That's damn impressive!
He's managed to not lose a step where others have lost a step or injured like AROD.
Not only that, steroids are the farthest thought that comes to mind when thinking of Jeter. He wants to play another few years!!!!. If he keeps up this pace, the all time hit record or at least 4000 hits will go down. Think about it, Jeter is going to hit 200 hits this season at 38 1/2 years old!
I know that it's so exciting to see young superstars like Mike Trout but lets not forget the Captain!
It's a perfect career. This season is no fluke. Jeter has had 150 hits in 15 seasons. Only one other player has accomplished this.
Where Derek Jeter ranks on the all time greats is unknown but if he could put up a .310 average for the next 3 seasons, he's near the top of the list.
Any opinions? No bashing, please. The guy is defying age and is hitting .326 with clutch hits. Who knows? He could win a 6th championship. What's your thoughts? thanks

--you sure know how to lighten up a mood. Hell, I'm old enough (41 in October and look about 28-30) to be Iron Mikes daddy. I visited the Angels in 2002 right before they were good. The tickets were 23.00 for box seats. Little did I know that the rally monkey inb that July 4th game would get the Angels to a World Series Title. Trout was 10 years old--haha. Nothing around the stadium expect for the hockey rink and Disneyland. Was an awesome vacation. Those Californians know how to have fun. They'd hit a beach ball around. If it was in Yankee Stadium, the beachball would be popped
