A-Rod has even had some 'clutch' hits during this stretch. Jury is still out on A-Roid though, I won't change my mind about him until he drives in a crucial run in a tight playoff/World Series game. Jeter does that consistently.
Also, Jeter is about to break The Iron Horse's record for most hits as a Yankee. That's unbelievable considering some of the names he's passed already - Berra, Mantle etc.
Gonna have to agree with you on A-Rod. Once he proves he can hit in the clutch in the playoffs, I'll be sold.
What kills me is the talking heads in baseball have Jeter as on overrated player. Really? As consistantly as he plays, without a lot of time on the DL, on verge of breaking Lou Gehrigs all time Yankees hit list, he'll have over 3,000 when he retires, has won a Series MVP, four championships, six penants anchoring that defense, hitting over .300 for his career, scoring the runs he has, hitting in clutch, a Gold Glove at the 6 position, he'll be a first ballot Hall of Famer, and some of these idiots consider him overrated? Why, because he isn't written about in the tabloids and the fans and media love him?
