IMO The Streak was only ONE of the things that defined him.
He did change the position of shortstop opening the door for players like Jeter and Arod.
3000+ Hits and 400+ HR i pretty defining.
ROY and 2X MVP says something.
All-Star all but his rookie year.
Multiple Gold Glove and silver Slugger awards.
I do think though that The Streak was the single thing that most defined him amongst the casual fan.
