that's exactly what baseball reference has in his top 5 comparable players.
Biggio
Molitor
Alomar
Yount
Gehringer
All credible Hall of Famers, just like Jeter.
Yankees fans and national media hoist Jeter above those in this list, but if Biggio had been a Yankee and Jeter an Astro, we could very likely see Jeter sitting out of the Hall after his first ballot, too, because he wouldn't have the rings or the constant front page stories that he has now.
