It’s ironic that Jeter is known as the “ultimate team player” when he actively made his team worse for vanity (and sabotaged ARods potential accolades and stats at a much more celebrated position) meanwhile ARod sacrificed personal glory to appease Jeter (and his fans) like a real team player. ARod is definitely a weird corny guy but he did what was necessary to win.
@@kurtwagner350 What a sacrifice ... Dude with a biggest contract at the time came to the team with 4 championships in 5 years. Jeter didn't sabotage Arod, all his accolades and stats destroyed with steroids.
The longer the Yankees go without winning another championship the more I appreciate A-Rod for his incredible performance to lead us to that title in 09. He might not have won ALCS or WS MVP, but he was the No. 1 reason why they won.
@@ItsAllAboutGuitarin American sports (and possibly in other nations' sports as well, but I only follow American sports so I can't be certain) it is common for fans to refer to teams they support in the first person plural. This is because fans strongly identify with their favorite teams and especially by attending and watching games, buying merchandise, and generally being informed about their team's activities they feel like the concept of a team can be broadened to include the fan base as well. Also, by saying "us" in this example it's a shorthand that avoids needing to say "the Yankees" while also still allowing the meaning to be clear.
7:28 in Arods worst year before turning 35 he posted an OPS+ of 120.. meaning at his absolute worst he was still 20% better than league average at hitting, WHILE playing elite defense at shortstop. Guy was unbelievable
Is this video being re-uploaded from like three years ago? Does this guy not know that JLo and A Rod have not been together for two years and that she is married to Ben Affleck now?
Same here. All these tools acting like steroids makes you a better player - it just makes you stronger. If you can't hit - steroids isn't going to help much.
@@marcoslaureano5562 exactly lol. imo it's only combat sports where either everyone or no one should be juiced. sosa, bonds, maguire home run race is what actually got me into baseball. i'm english so i would never have noticed the sport. I'm still a cardinals fan to this day 20+ years later
Even Jason Giambi told A-Rod to STFU and play. A-Rod thought he was doing fine. I'm glad that Jeter and A-Rod got over their beef and are now friendly. It took a death in Jeter's life that made him say life is too short and he let bygones be bygones.
Not gonna lie, I've always felt like there's something unsettling about Jeter. I feel like his class-act schtick is pretty thinly veiled. Something tells me that just below the surface is a spiteful and rude a-hole.
Why? Doesn't shock me based on the age of average TH-cam users in general. I'm 28, I only saw bits and pieces of Jeter's true dominance. I also didn't see the absolute best of ARod when he was a young, god-tier 5-tool player in Seattle. But ARod was significantly better as a player the entire time I watched baseball. The year's this video highlighted when the Yankees were winning like crazy and Jeter at least had somewhat close stats to ARod (never really that close but much closer), very few young fans have any personal connection to because they didn't watch them live. We have inherited connections to those teams growing up with that group of players, but for many of us, they won 1 time in 2009 and that was ARod's ring easily. The only MVP caliber season Jeter put up was in the 90s. ARod was one of the 5 best players in the league basically every year of his career until after the suspension. From an on-the-field standpoint, most younger fans are going to prefer the significantly better player.
Now that they're retired you can see that Jeter was just a passive-aggressive tool. They hate him down in Florida after he pretty much ruined the Marlins and set them back a few seasons.
@marcoslaureano5562 The Marlins were already bad. Jeter actually tried to make them more like The Yankees. But the Marlins didn't like caring about Winning. No wonder Jeter left
I vividly remember watchthing the little league World Series when Arod was on the Yankees, I remember more than once where the kids say their favorite player, every kid on the team would say Arod. Every single one lol
TBT, none of them have a clue. They got a camera shoved in their face and asked question they have no answer for. Just like an entire Latino team saying their favorite player is Jerickson Profar... He so happens to be relevant the year. Sure...😅
I had to pause to comment on that A-Rod quote about how "you don't worry about Jeter beating you" in that Yankee lineup. As a lifetime Red Sox fan, he was THE guy I didn't want to see at the plate in a clutch situation. He'd constantly put the nail in the coffin, yet he was one of those Yankee players that you couldn't help but appreciate as a player and leader. Tldr-terrible hot take from A-Rod
you're obviously a kid, (despite your username) ... Jeter was a cog in a powerful machine. The Dynasty Yankees were a threat 1-9, and O'Neill, Bernie, and Tino were scarier at the plate than Jeter -- who was a table setter, first and foremost.
@@joeinreallife6293 yup, that's what made him dangerous there was the heart of the lineup after him, but he always seemed to come thru when it mattered. Obviously I'm a child talking about a Yankee lineup from 25 years ago...for someone that comes off so condescending, you don't even really seem to disagree. But thanks for pointing out that the championship Yankees had more than 1 threat in their lineup.
Count the rings isn't the argument you think it is. Alex was far, far better than Jeter, who selfishly demanded to keep playing a subpar shortstop instead of moving for Alex to help the team.
Jeter was endowed with midwestern values? As far as I always knew, he was endowed with a swinging python of hate that was usually buried in some supermodel.
During the ALLSTAR game there was an interaction with Jeter and A-Rod that was hilarious. The announcer said something about Jeter's stats in Mariners stadium and he answered. Then he was asked about A-Rod's stats. He looked at A-Rod and nodded but didn't answer the question. The tension was heavy and it was hilarious to see.
Yeah, video about a rivalry about how two people that hate each other and yet they could be seen together on TV together on Fox broadcasts several times in the last few weeks. Cut the shit this is just fucking drama bullshit for the sake of drama bullshit. That’s all this video is.
There is no middle field... There's outfield and infield positions only... They were both infielders having the same position short stop before A-Rod moved to 3rd base because of seniority... A-Rod was probably a better SS then Jeter ever was- most will likely say so including Derek himself...
If you agree that Jeter's GGs are undeserved, you can't really say "but still" which gives them some sort of weight in explaining his greatness. He is a legend without a doubt, but simply put he's average at best defensively and 5 GGs completely mislead some into thinking otherwise.
Worst Shortstop in MLB history but great hitter. Good shortstop from his days in Seattle and Texas, way better hitter RBI and home run machine. This was doomed from the start and Yankees are still paying reparations to this day. Jeter was the handpicked "captain" of the team but he was never a Tom Brady or Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan. He was just the face of a marketing campaign that was beloved by the fanbase. A Rod was the better player. The Yankees rolled out the red carpet for a better player and then demoted A Rod to Third Base just to satisfy Jeter. It was doomed from start. Yankees have reverted back to pre-Babe Ruth era under Hank and Cashman still making these bad decisions to ths day.
A-Rod was jealous of the captain bcuz Derek Jeter didn't need A-Rod to win a world series but A-Rod needed Derek Jeter truthfully A-Rod was only good bcuz of Roids but Derek Jeter was good bcuz of talent
Too many People are on his nuts, the guy was a good part of a great situation , and when most of those guys retired or left the Yankees they didn't win for almost a decade, and when they won it was only a 1 off.
It is unfortunate that the Boston trade didn’t workout first and that the Yankees were the backup. It would have been way better to see him play short on that team.
I keep hearing about how CC Sabathia cleaned up the clubhouse morale when he got to New York. Could you please do a video on his career and the Yankees?
It says a lot that as a teenager I loved A Rod and hated Jeter in the 90’s and as an adult I have flipped that around. Once you have the full body of work, you can make a more honest comparison.
HORRIBLE TAKE....so much to do about nothing...as they were in a recent interview together laughing about this...they even work together now. BRUTAL>equals click bait
A-Rod had a far stronger arm, Jeter at 3rd would have been worse... Him at 2nd base maybe but who would paly 3rd, when A-Rod was their best infielder... Overall i think they made the right choice for the club...
Can’t wait for this one. I don’t know of a more polariIng player on the field than Derek Jeter. Is he the best shortstop of all time, or the absolute worst? A-Rod had two HOF careers, but has been ‘roiding since he was 18 & is unquestionably a terrible human being off the field. Should be a goodie.
Great player, and I thought he was great, still. I had the fortune or misfortune of staying at a number of hotels teams stayed at when on the road. My company put me up there. The one player the staff singled out as a dick, and they all seemed to dislike; Yep it was Jeter. Alex may be a twit, but never a mention by hotel staff as being an arrogant pain to deal with.
A-Rod’s average season with the Yankees from 2004-2010 (7 seasons) .300 BA 40 HR 120 RBI 110 Runs .952 OPS The only other Yankees in team history to ever achieve those numbers over 7 consecutive seasons were Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle. Yankee Fans: This A-Rod guy sucked as a Yankee 😂…. He won MVP in 05 & 07. By the way, without A-ROD the Yankee Championship drought would currently stand at 23 years. Yankee fans are pathetic. On a separate note, isn’t it interesting how David Ortiz had his first good season of his career at 27 years old, in his 7th season, and he magically gets a pass on the Steroid bullshit? 🤔
@@warlordofbritanniaYou mean like probably 90% of the league in that era? Come on. Put A-Rod, Bonds, and Clemens in the Hall already. It’s ridiculous. All time greats, every one of them.
@@timetowakeup6302 “90 percent of the league at that time” [citation needed] Anyways, yeah I think Bonds et all should be in the Hall of Fame. But cmon man, you can’t post what you did above and not address the 800 pound gorilla in the room 😂
PEDs or not, those are monster numbers (I actually didn't realize they were that good) plus most of the other guys that juiced during that Era had stats more along the lines of 40 HR and say a .240 average
Wow - you REALLY see Jeter through rose colored glasses. You're just going to totally ignore what he did to the Marlins and how nobody down there could stand him. The guy was a quiet TOOL. Yeah he was great - but he's still a tool.
For me, A-rod is a much more "real" guy. He is flashy, arrogant, showy but he doesn't hide that. He is being true to himself and others around him. If he hates you, he tells you about it. Jeter feels like a hypocrate and backstabber. He acts like he likes you even if he does not. He acts like a good person and takes passive aggressive stands all the time. He preys on being good guy and the victim. He is a phoney. I much rather befriend with A-rod than Jeter. He is much more honest and real than Jeter.
I really think they are very similar. ARod is better at baseball (especially defense) Jeter is way better at how to handle the media as a pro athlete. Jeter being the greatest team player ever fades overtime as defense analytics and his Marlins ownership comes to light. A very guarded ego vs a blatant ego.
When A-Rod was going, Jeter couldnt compare. A-Rod was a man you feared pitching to. Would love to see baseball take back the HOF from these stupid writers that vote.
Baseball never had the HOF so it can't take it back. And writers have always been the HOF voters. Today's writers are more informed and reasonable than ever before when it comes to HOF voting. The worst inductions ever have come from Veterans Committees. You're nostalgic for a past that never existed.
I see and understand why there was a rivalry, and I actually do believe that they have reconciled. It may not be perfect, but they are both older men now who have probably grown up and realized that their drama or hatred was petty in nature.
Can’t stand Jeter. He is just a goody two shoes who cares only about his image. Arod definitely has his faults too but at least he owns them. The media just wanted a Scapegoat in NY and it fell on Arod
A Rod was the better SS by leaps and bounds, you could say Jeter was selfish in refusing to move from short because his ego wouldn't allow it. Jeter also extorted the Yankees for more money and made a public spectacle of it when he sought a new contract despite being washed and mostly irrelevant by 2010.
ARod, when he was with the Yankees, wouldn't shut up when talking to the media. However Yankees management wanted Jeter to come to his rescue all the time. Jeter knew how to talk to the media and didn't want to get involved with ARod's mess. It must not have been fun being Jeter, and having ARod as a teammate.
I remember a Roid last at bat! It was before the angels series and a guy by the name of Aaron judge and Gary sandez took his spot int the lineup. I was at angles field trying to catch 700 in right field
So 2 people took his spot? Who’s Gary Sandez? Also Arod finished with 696 HR, were you hoping to watch him hit 4 homers that night to catch 700? You suck
I love how Arod basically redeemed himself and Jeter left the past in the past. Of course they won't ignore it happened but they're being professions now.
As a long time Mets fan I can say this about your video: I loved Derek Jeter, how he played (sure he made a lot of errors, but was so clutch), how he conducted himself and how he was a great teammate. As for Alex Rodrigues, even before all of his doping I really did not like him. He seemed so fake and egotistical. Kind of like….Barry Bonds. And when they both started looking like bodybuilders and everyone knew what they were doing, well that was it for me. Lost all respect for Alex and of course Bonds. Can add McGuire and Sosa to that list also.
I think for me it was that ALCS against the Red Sox. That BS where he tried to slap the ball out of the guys glove and acting shocked when he got caught plus the way he could be seen pouting in the dugout just made him look like a diva to me
If A-Rod was a good friend this is never a rivalry legitimately. A rod not being able to keep his real feelings to himself or to not fake a friendship with someone he believed he was better than
I never knew about Hal Newhouser pushed the Houston Astros to draft Jeter so hard. I’m glad they didn’t, they rarely called-up their prospects until they were in their almost-mid 20’s. Thankfully, the 2015+ changed that with players like Carlos Correa (20 yrs old) & Lance McCullers (21 yrs old)
Average AL Rookie of the Year 22.4 years old. Average NL Rookie of the Year 23.6 years old. Couldn't find average debut age of first round picks out of high school but that's the comparison set for the players under discussion. But, yes, the average debut age (for all players) is like 24 1/3 years old.
A-Rod was better in every facet of the game aside from pure contact. I say this and Rodriguez is one of my least favorite players ever. Well, Jeter is too, but that’s beside the point.
The pop up while Baltimore Orioles Were Visiting was Thought To Have Been Caught By Each Player, They weren't Aware That The Ball Was Rolling Behind Both Of Them. So Stop Instigating with these 2 Cuz They Don't Hate (Strong Word) Each other Like Drama Queens Would Want Them To.
I’m definitely not a huge A Rod fan, but I watched those teams as a kid and a Yankees fan and when they forced him into retirement unceremoniously during the 2016 season I thought it was kinda sleazy of them. I think it was mostly a “go fuck your self” sort of decision from Cashman, given the nature of their relationship. They hated each other. The fact is that without A Rod there is no 2009 WS win, and we probably don’t make the playoffs at all in other years. Yes, he choked in the playoffs a lot. Yes, he brought a ton of controversy and negative publicity to the team…. But he was a pivotal piece to the Yankees during his tenure there.
19,023 runs scored...that's a record I guarantee will NEVER be broken...lol. I'm obviously being a smart a*s...pay no attention to me. If there is a take-a-way to be gleaned from my comment, let it be this: your videos are well done...no question...and I'm certainly appreciative of the time and effort taken to provide such material.
Jeter was cool and all but his passive aggressive ego towards Arod was unwarranted. Arod was light years ahead of Jeter. Yankees truly miss having a player like Arod
If you put JETER on a losing team he’s an average player. You swap Arod for JETER on those stacked Yankees teams they win all those championships. What Arod said about JETER was wrong but it was the truth.
There shouldn’t have been a rivalry. No one ever talks about A-Rod being a better defensive shortstop,but playing third base with no complaints.
It’s ironic that Jeter is known as the “ultimate team player” when he actively made his team worse for vanity (and sabotaged ARods potential accolades and stats at a much more celebrated position) meanwhile ARod sacrificed personal glory to appease Jeter (and his fans) like a real team player. ARod is definitely a weird corny guy but he did what was necessary to win.

@@burtsy. I kinda figured so. Is it safe to say that Jeter’s likability led to a higher perception of his skill?
For sure! A rod is undoubtedly the better player stats wise, but his status as a clubhouse cancer definitely marred his legacy
@@madethecut Got it, makes sense thanks!
The rivalry between derek jeter and alex rodriguez is like mariah carey feud with jlo
Of course
Can’t wait for this one. I don’t know of a more polariIng player on the field than Derek Jeter. Is he the best shortstop of all time, or the absolute worst?
A-Rod had two HOF careers, but has been ‘roiding since he was 18 & is unquestionably a terrible human being off the field.
Should be a goodie.
Couldn’t wait for this one*
As a Braves fan I respect Jetter he was a class act. Aroid is a different story
Alex was better
Great player, and I thought he was great, still. I had the fortune or misfortune of staying at a number of hotels teams stayed at when on the road. My company put me up there. The one player the staff singled out as a dick, and they all seemed to dislike; Yep it was Jeter. Alex may be a twit, but never a mention by hotel staff as being an arrogant pain to deal with.
Look at Jeter's post play legacy. Jeter has shown that when he was a player he seemed like a class act, but in a management he is a total ass.
@@doncheechako8084 I could always tell that by looking at his face. Spoiled yankee
A-Rod’s average season with the Yankees from 2004-2010 (7 seasons)
.300 BA
40 HR
120 RBI
110 Runs
.952 OPS
The only other Yankees in team history to ever achieve those numbers over 7 consecutive seasons were Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle. Yankee Fans: This A-Rod guy sucked as a Yankee 😂…. He won MVP in 05 & 07.
By the way, without A-ROD the Yankee Championship drought would currently stand at 23 years. Yankee fans are pathetic.
On a separate note, isn’t it interesting how David Ortiz had his first good season of his career at 27 years old, in his 7th season, and he magically gets a pass on the Steroid bullshit? 🤔
Don’t forget all the PEDs he was loaded on!
@@warlordofbritanniaYou mean like probably 90% of the league in that era? Come on. Put A-Rod, Bonds, and Clemens in the Hall already. It’s ridiculous. All time greats, every one of them.
@@timetowakeup6302
“90 percent of the league at that time”
[citation needed]
Anyways, yeah I think Bonds et all should be in the Hall of Fame. But cmon man, you can’t post what you did above and not address the 800 pound gorilla in the room 😂
PEDs or not, those are monster numbers (I actually didn't realize they were that good) plus most of the other guys that juiced during that Era had stats more along the lines of 40 HR and say a .240 average
@@uberboomer8670what PED users had 40 home runs and a .240 average? Those are like Adam Dunn numbers. That makes no sense at all.
Jeter is boring.
A-Rod might be a sociopath. His tv commentary style is like someone who read a book on human behavior and tries to emulate it.
Wow - you REALLY see Jeter through rose colored glasses. You're just going to totally ignore what he did to the Marlins and how nobody down there could stand him. The guy was a quiet TOOL. Yeah he was great - but he's still a tool.
ARod is really good on TV. I’m glad he’s matured
For me, A-rod is a much more "real" guy. He is flashy, arrogant, showy but he doesn't hide that. He is being true to himself and others around him. If he hates you, he tells you about it.
Jeter feels like a hypocrate and backstabber. He acts like he likes you even if he does not. He acts like a good person and takes passive aggressive stands all the time. He preys on being good guy and the victim. He is a phoney.
I much rather befriend with A-rod than Jeter. He is much more honest and real than Jeter.
You don't know either of them wtf
A-Rod living in Calgary Alberta blows my mind
There's oil in the beaches up there...
Is Canada's Texas just as horrendous a place as Texas?
@ as someone who lives there due to work yeah, it is in some places
@@billbush16 You work up in the rigs?
@ i lived in the city that is known for the rigs for 17 years, down in the south now
Even doe I wasn't a Yankee fan back then but Jeter and Alex one of my favorites
Did you write this? You are in love with Jeter man. I never seen a more one sided piece about these 2 and everyone hates ARod.
This video was too one sided
I really think they are very similar. ARod is better at baseball (especially defense) Jeter is way better at how to handle the media as a pro athlete. Jeter being the greatest team player ever fades overtime as defense analytics and his Marlins ownership comes to light. A very guarded ego vs a blatant ego.
Greatest team player ever? Just no
When A-Rod was going, Jeter couldnt compare. A-Rod was a man you feared pitching to. Would love to see baseball take back the HOF from these stupid writers that vote.
Baseball never had the HOF so it can't take it back. And writers have always been the HOF voters. Today's writers are more informed and reasonable than ever before when it comes to HOF voting. The worst inductions ever have come from Veterans Committees. You're nostalgic for a past that never existed.
At time index 1:01 he says Jeter scored 19 023 runs (as opposed to 1923 runs) ( I love this video btw .. just that one slip-up made me laugh)
THE CAPTAIN BABY YEAH JEETS THE CAPTAIN IT'S JUST DIFFERENT IN NEW YORK BABY 5 RINGZZZ THE CAPTAIN MIKE TROUT DOESN'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS
they are friends now and follow each other on social media
A rod is 10x better than jeter
Did not realize jeter had over 19,000 runs. Got to be a record. That will never get broken
I’m a 30 year old Yankees fan so I remember this well
I see and understand why there was a rivalry, and I actually do believe that they have reconciled. It may not be perfect, but they are both older men now who have probably grown up and realized that their drama or hatred was petty in nature.
Jeter is overrated af
Also it’s cool that ARod played in Calgary for a bit
that shirtless pic .. hell tf nah y’all gotta chill out. who’s idea was that? 😂
I think of Jeter I think of unnecessary jump throws and gift baskets. I liked arod in Seattle. I hate the Yankees though.
Everybody hates the Yankees
Lmao you said 19023 runs I was like whattttttt but I realized you read it wrong. Great content tho I love it
This is a really good video
But when A-Rod had his last at bat every person was up cheering him on (it’s on TH-cam)
Can’t stand Jeter. He is just a goody two shoes who cares only about his image. Arod definitely has his faults too but at least he owns them. The media just wanted a Scapegoat in NY and it fell on Arod
A Rod was the better SS by leaps and bounds, you could say Jeter was selfish in refusing to move from short because his ego wouldn't allow it. Jeter also extorted the Yankees for more money and made a public spectacle of it when he sought a new contract despite being washed and mostly irrelevant by 2010.
I completely forgot how annoying jeters last season was with the endless last blah blah jeter will do the media talked up
Video on steve bartman? :)
ARod, when he was with the Yankees, wouldn't shut up when talking to the media. However Yankees management wanted Jeter to come to his rescue all the time. Jeter knew how to talk to the media and didn't want to get involved with ARod's mess.
It must not have been fun being Jeter, and having ARod as a teammate.
I remember a Roid last at bat! It was before the angels series and a guy by the name of Aaron judge and Gary sandez took his spot int the lineup. I was at angles field trying to catch 700 in right field
So 2 people took his spot? Who’s Gary Sandez? Also Arod finished with 696 HR, were you hoping to watch him hit 4 homers that night to catch 700? You suck
I love how Arod basically redeemed himself and Jeter left the past in the past. Of course they won't ignore it happened but they're being professions now.
1:02
Jeter scored 19,thousand runs??🤯🤯
All sorts of errors in this one. A rare miss that lowered your WAR
At least they had some sort of desire to win, a drive to win a championship, way better than the Boone caricature ridden team
A-Rod was the better player , the media favored Jeter… that’s the truth
But the media picked A Rod as the AL MVP
As a long time Mets fan I can say this about your video: I loved Derek Jeter, how he played (sure he made a lot of errors, but was so clutch), how he conducted himself and how he was a great teammate. As for Alex Rodrigues, even before all of his doping I really did not like him. He seemed so fake and egotistical. Kind of like….Barry Bonds. And when they both started looking like bodybuilders and everyone knew what they were doing, well that was it for me. Lost all respect for Alex and of course Bonds. Can add McGuire and Sosa to that list also.
I think for me it was that ALCS against the Red Sox. That BS where he tried to slap the ball out of the guys glove and acting shocked when he got caught plus the way he could be seen pouting in the dugout just made him look like a diva to me
@@bigbearkat2010 very good point. That was terrible for sure.
A good teammate would've taken one for the team, swallowed his pride and gave shortstop to the better player lol
@@kevinbrezinski2544 or maybe the better fielder would be able to adapt better in a new position.
@@bigbearkat2010well he did. Still shoulda played SS
19 thousand 23 runs? DAMN much larger than one thousand nine hundred twenty three runs. Should be named the GOAT of runs.
If A-Rod was a good friend this is never a rivalry legitimately. A rod not being able to keep his real feelings to himself or to not fake a friendship with someone he believed he was better than
Jeter is my all time favorite baseball player! But I have 2 admit I'm like the new arod...
19,000 runs!! Woahhh
1:03
1,923 is one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three, not 19 thousand. Either you don't know how to type, or speak; which one is it?
I never knew about Hal Newhouser pushed the Houston Astros to draft Jeter so hard. I’m glad they didn’t, they rarely called-up their prospects until they were in their almost-mid 20’s. Thankfully, the 2015+ changed that with players like Carlos Correa (20 yrs old) & Lance McCullers (21 yrs old)
Almost mid-20s is normal development. And it’s a fast track if they’re drafted out of college cuz they’re 21-22 right then.
Average AL Rookie of the Year 22.4 years old. Average NL Rookie of the Year 23.6 years old. Couldn't find average debut age of first round picks out of high school but that's the comparison set for the players under discussion. But, yes, the average debut age (for all players) is like 24 1/3 years old.
Jeter scored over 19,000 runs? Wow, he was better than I thought.....
A-Rod was better in every facet of the game aside from pure contact. I say this and Rodriguez is one of my least favorite players ever. Well, Jeter is too, but that’s beside the point.
Ousted from the Marlins for being toxic, stole Frank Thomas's spot on Fox, screw him
🔥🔥🔥
The pop up while Baltimore Orioles Were Visiting was Thought To Have Been Caught By Each Player, They weren't Aware That The Ball Was Rolling Behind Both Of Them. So Stop Instigating with these 2 Cuz They Don't Hate (Strong Word) Each other Like Drama Queens Would Want Them To.
Jeter is only a slightly better player than Craig Biggio
Wow. Only slightly better than an obvious Hall of Famer? Sick burn!
I’m definitely not a huge A Rod fan, but I watched those teams as a kid and a Yankees fan and when they forced him into retirement unceremoniously during the 2016 season I thought it was kinda sleazy of them. I think it was mostly a “go fuck your self” sort of decision from Cashman, given the nature of their relationship. They hated each other. The fact is that without A Rod there is no 2009 WS win, and we probably don’t make the playoffs at all in other years. Yes, he choked in the playoffs a lot. Yes, he brought a ton of controversy and negative publicity to the team…. But he was a pivotal piece to the Yankees during his tenure there.
Give me a healthy arod, over jeter, steroids or not, even if arod was toxic/asshole lol
Alex Was Introduced To Dr. Bosch Before 2010.
19,023 runs scored...that's a record I guarantee will NEVER be broken...lol.
I'm obviously being a smart a*s...pay no attention to me.
If there is a take-a-way to be gleaned from my comment, let it be this: your videos are well done...no question...and I'm certainly appreciative of the time and effort taken to provide such material.
Jeter was cool and all but his passive aggressive ego towards Arod was unwarranted. Arod was light years ahead of Jeter. Yankees truly miss having a player like Arod
THANK YOU. I used to love Jeter but over the years I began to see him for what he is - a quietly arrogant, smug, passive-aggressive little b1tch.
@@marcoslaureano5562that sounds awfully like A Rod
0:42 um…he was born in jersey 😂
If you put JETER on a losing team he’s an average player. You swap Arod for JETER on those stacked Yankees teams they win all those championships. What Arod said about JETER was wrong but it was the truth.
you can't discount the intangibles though. Jeter is a winner not only coz of his talent. The dude had that mamba mentality.
