But now that Derek Jeter has 3,000 hits, it gives us reason to say what needs to be said about this magnificent Yankee.<br /><br />Wow. Well done. Impressive beyond words.<br /><br />Also, <b>thanks for being what you are and who you are.</b><br /><br />In that magic early afternoon of July 9, with the memory and remains of old Yankee Stadium looming across the street ... Jeter went from <b>legendary to mystical</b>. He hit a home run for the 3,000th hit of his career. Not a Texas Leaguer that just cleared the shortstop's glove or a hard bounder off the pitcher's leg. A home run. ...<br /><br />The number reached was phenomenal. <b>The manner done so was otherworldly</b>. ...<br /><br />He plays in one of the rudest, pushiest cities in the world and is neither. ... He is good to his teammates, good to the fans and apparently good to the scores of beautiful women he has dated in his 17 years as a Yankee. ...<br /><br />For those nearly two decades, he has conducted his business with a style and consistency that is hard to maintain, for many of his peers, for two months. He is good at what he does and <b>good at being who he is</b>.<br /><br />*****<br /><br />It goes on ....allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-52695901293259988262011-09-03T17:09:51.464-07:002011-09-03T17:09:51.464-07:00I think making the playoffs, winning pennants and ...<i>I think making the playoffs, winning pennants and winning World Series is the greatest accomplishments in baseball that a player can achieve.</i><br /><br />He can do that as long as he is on a great team. What you are saying is that if Jeter had put up the exact same stats (or better!) for the Royals or Pirates or Expos/Nationals, then he would have been much less of a player. Strange. So Ted Williams and Ernie Banks did not accomplish much on the diamond? (This is like arguing with a 7-year-old. And you using "bosux" pretty much clinches it.

Jeters demonstrated skills and the success he has helped lead his team to are facts. <br /><br />Jeter has also played in more winning teams over his career than any other player during that span. I think making the playoffs, winning pennants and winning World Series is the greatest accomplishments in baseball that a player can achieve. Jeter has done this the most and the best. Jeter is also the poster boy and the face of major league baseball. What scares me is the bosux may have the next player in Jeters class in Dustin Pedroia. I really respect that kid.WIN METHODhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975350427523065462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-86212355786221613132011-09-03T10:49:26.180-07:002011-09-03T10:49:26.180-07:00"[His 3,000th hit] also was just another time..."[His 3,000th hit] also was just another time for folks to take the guy for granted."<br /><br />They made a documentary about it.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-88767483740616905132011-09-03T10:01:54.975-07:002011-09-03T10:01:54.975-07:00Jeter is acepted by knowledgeable baseball fans as...<i>Jeter is acepted by knowledgeable baseball fans as the greatest player to play the game over the past twenty years.</i><br /><br />Requoted solely for comedic value.<br /><br /><i>Only those jealous of his charisma, charm, offensive talent, defensive talent, and his ability to help his team to more playoffs, pennants, and WS rings look down on his true greatness.</i><br /><br />I like how "charisma" and "charm" (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGnjrTkv1gs" rel="nofollow">???</a>) come before anything actually having to do with baseball.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-29371770271203850362011-09-03T09:45:08.229-07:002011-09-03T09:45:08.229-07:00WIN METHOD fans know of Jeter and his overwhelming...WIN METHOD fans know of Jeter and his overwhelming greatness.
