Re: Jeter's final Yankee Stadium Walk-Off Bat

He's 100% in the top 30.

Top 100 to ever play yes. Your seeing pinstriped vision. Top 30 no way!!!!
Not by any standard.

I will back out of this conversation. But most agree, if not in NY, it wouldn't be what it is.

Read a piece today in which Jeters advanced metrics #s compared very closely with Barry Larkin. That of coarse doesn't take into acct postseason success but puts Jeters numbers into perspective.

I'm on board with that comparison. Larkin is well above the Jaffe line for "HOF worthiness" for what it's worth as is Jeter.

Being from NY my whole life, everyone knows how I feel about Jeter and his career. In remarks to the bat I love the fact he is a bat from May deep into September really shows how hard it can be to photo match a bat starting at the date

Did you all see that Louisville Slugger is going to retire the P72 model and replace it with the DJ2 model?

Re: Jeter's final Yankee Stadium Walk-Off Bat

i would think that most people who watched both jeter and larkin closely would still rank jeter as the better player

to say that jeter was barry larkin if barry larkin played in ny and played longer is a big reach, imo (and that's in no way, shape, or form a knock on larkin)

people are too hung up on advanced statistics these days. they're also very easy to cherry pick to push an agenda.

I am certain that throughout the history of baseball there are 30 players better than Derek jeter- probably 50

Preach the truth. If Jeter played in a lesser market....Brewers, Pirates, etc....we aren't even having this discussion. Top 30 of all time is absurdity.

I think for many, this is exactly what most think!

Re: Jeter's final Yankee Stadium Walk-Off Bat

There are so many intangibles that cannot be measured. His success was in large part due to his consistency. Where he ranks amongst the best is missing the point. He is the type of player that only comes around once in a generation.
