    It is sad that this is even a debate. Jeter is/was great. No where near as great as some other players (and former Yankees) though.

    Who was trying to make the case that he is the greatest?

    He isn't even the greatest Yankees player, but he is a class act amongst several players from the steroids era. He is revered among many for that reason in addition to his playing ability.

    Jeter=overrated, fueled by the NY/East Coast hype machine.

    Very good, impressive longevity, but overrated.

    class act? didn't he have a gift basket for the all the women he boned, that he'd give them once he told them to leave?

    Are you asking a question or providing rumors and speculation on your part?

    not exactly speculation, and not exactly rumors. Google is your friend.

    Yeah, and Jeter denied the rumors.

    In this country you are innocent until proven guilty.

    I wonder if Jeter didn't exist, would the MLB be where it's at even now? It's a dying product... Names like Jeter give it relevance imo.

    Miguel Cabrera was the first triple crown winner since 1967, my guess is average sports fan doesn't know that and that is a HUGE feat.

    Jesus is the greatest baseball player ever.

    If I remember correctly he was a pitcher for the Angels.

    Am I using the OT section properly?

    He's always been full of himself. A HOF and 3,000 hits is nice. A tad overrated, yes.

    Jesus was never a great fielder though--always played like he had holes in his hands...
