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

Youa re right, Bernie Williams doesn't get the press that Jeter does, but if you put him on another team, would we even know about Williams name outside of a boxscore? There was a time when the NY media was trying to pass him off as the next Mantle. That doesn't happen with any player from any other team. All it takes is one good season with Yankees and the NY media will hypoe the player beyond believe. Just imagine the hype if Ichiro played from Yankees. We'd have the second coming of Cobb without the nastiness.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
