bailey, clearly you didn’t go to a southern connecticut high school in 2014, or else you’d know that “RE2PECT” is pronounced “ree-two-pect” (and you would also say it constantly for years afterward)
So if jeter played a decent right field would that really have taken away from the hate of a Yankee who won multiple titles? No they’d hate him even more and complain that he didn’t play shortstop.
I have always been baffled by the fact that we choose to further distinguish HOFers amongst each other - I mean, it's the Hall of Fame, it's the absolute pinnacle of sports achievement.
I disagree. Just as someone is or isn’t a hall of famer, some people in the HOF deserve to be inner circle members. Ted Williams, Ruth, etc are freaks among freaks, if that makes sense. Making it to the MLB doesn’t mean that you should be treated the same as Juan Soto or Kershaw, who are more distinguished than the average player in the MLB. In both cases, however, ANYONE who makes it to the MLB or HOF deserves massive respect, just some more than others.

That was an amazing ending to the video. I was fixing an appliance, just listening to the video while working away. The last point made me laugh out loud. Great video.😅👍
I'd like to see a Cal Ripken and Derek Jeter comparison. Stat and award wise obviously. Cal won't beat Jeter in a popularity contest whatsoever. It just would be nice to see who's the better player.
Metrics suggest it's Ripken. Jeter was probably the better overall hitter but Ripken was the better overall shortstop. Both are rightfully in the Hall of Fame so it really doesn't matter to me personally.
Don’t forget that jeter career was literally a movie, 3000th hit was a homer, his last hit at Yankee stadium was a walk off. The dude literally lived every kids dream every day
No way, it was a weak oppo blooper against an expensive double-a team. The hit being overrated definitely fits the theme though. Actually, i take it back; that walk-off really was the perfect way to cap off his career.
the Larry Walker / ID joke reminded me of the time Dustin Pedroia actually DID get IDed trying to get into the players entrance at Coors field during the 07 ws
maybe my favorite video of you, mr foolish. just the way you made your argument especially from the middle to the end is much the way i allign my beliefs. love ya
As an old guy I always like Jeter when I watched him live. Hated the Yankees, but Jeter was the one guy you gave respect to. It wasn't because he was the best, but because you always felt like he was giving 100%. This was partly just a cultivated image, but there was some kernel of truth to it. Everybody hated A-Rod despite his skills. I watch baseball from 1987 to now so I saw Jeter's entire run. He was one of the mythical figures of that time. Sometimes sports is just about larger that life stories.
@@soldemers7809 Yeah, and the Marlins haven't yet proven they're doing it well. They won pandemic baseball, sure, but then they sold lots of their talent again the next year. So perhaps it's a re-re-build?

counter point to "every single other player other than Derek Jeter is underrated": Mariano Rivera got 100% of the vote, therefore he must be the MOST fairly rated player in MLB history
but he got more than Jeter so he is overrated
He got the assignment
But how many hot celebrities did he date?
I think I've heard about Mo from more non-fans than Jeter.
@@georgemartin5980 That's gotta be some like regional influence on your sample or something. I had never even heard of Rivera until like last year, but you bet your ass I knew who Derek Jeter was
“If you talk smack about Derek Jeter’s defensive metrics, you’re a misogynist.”
Derek Jeter is the second most fairly rated. Mariano Rivera is the most fairly rated
This is a very great point. We all agree he’s the best closer ever and move on.
I would argue Griffey is up there too. We all love Griffey
Came here to say the same thing
Jeter should have been 100 percent but so should Griffy and others like him
but mariano rivera is undoubtedly greater at what he did than jeter. by foolish logic, mo is still underrated a bit.
This feels like a Talking Points presentation in Jackbox and I loved every second of it

I also highly doubt anyone there was screaming Jeter's name, so

@@WerdThorton You’re right, but he brought up WAR, and that’s a little online nerd stat. I only care about RBIs let’s go baby 27 rings go yankees
