Default Who can you compare Derek Jeter going back to 1869.

we'll have to agree to disagree, although frankly, I'm not sure I understand your last post. You still seem hung up on Jeter's catch, but I sincerely doubt the managers and coaches put much stock in just that one play. Then you say he shows off with jump throws from the hole. Again, I have to believe the coaches and managers would not be impressed with a show off, in fact, they may be turnedd off by it. I personally don't see him turn that play that often, but I have to believe he has his reasons. Maybe he feels more comfortable that way, does not want to plant on a slick or uneven infield, I don't know. I do know that Jeter is one of the most fundamentally sound players, in all phases of the game, that I have seen in many years.
