Well he's obviously no Babe Ruth. Everyone's different.
It's a personal decision, it's has to get old. Different game today, same faces day after day. Same hounds, runners, resellers. No way to discern a "first time fan" from the rest. Default position, ignore them all.

On a positive note wasn't there a story sometime back about him sending women home from his place with an autographed baseball? Or am I confusing the playa?

Derek Jeter, what a giver...
Jeff, you are correct that Derek sends the women that he beds home with a fabulous parting gift- an autographed Derek Jeter baseball!! Whoopee! |

He's got a supply of those baseballs pre-inscribed, on his bedside table... "To what was your name again?, Sincerely, Derek Jeter"

How is he overrated? One of the greatest Yankees ever, let alone a model of consistency on the field as well.

Jeter - 255 HR - 313 batting average - 348 SB - 1254 rbi - Good player - very good player. Not a middle of the order guy, also not a lead off guy and very good #2 hitter. you know who has almost the same exact numbers with half the at bats - Nomar Garciaparra - 229 HR, 313 average - 936 rbi (about half the at bats) or even Clemente - 317 / 240hr larry walker - 313 / 383hr edger martinez - 312 / 309 hr tod helton was a way better hitter, 320 -354 Magglio Ordonez - 309 / 294 hr tim ranes - had a 295 average, 170 RH and over 800 SB you cant compare him to guys like this - Mantle, Joe D, Berra, Ruth, Mattingly, winfield, maris, gehrig, Rickey Henderson Yes a 313 average is very good, 3000 hits... yea sure thats good too, but hes played 18 seasons, hes a "singles" hitter usually with a few of the best power hitters in the game hitting behind him ALL his life. I dont remember a time when he was even the best SS in the game let alone the best player. there are tons of very good players with a 310-315 average with 250-300 hr,

Jeter comes through in the clutch too, particularly at post season time.
Both offense and defense. Hard to measure in statistics. 5 Championships And you have left off career hits. Jeter has hit .313 over a long period of time And 5 Gold Gloves Lets hope he stays in the game many more years and dislodges Rose. I understand this may be very wishful thinking but Rose played until he was 45. Last edited by BigJJ; 02-10-2013 at 05:40 AM. |

i would agree jeter is a little overrated because he plays in new york, but he's still a credible hof'er and one of the best ss ever. you can't compare his stat at a premium defensive position to guys who play 1b or corner of spots where offensive production can easily be replaced or replicated.
as for the argument in this thread just like the tom brady charges $600/sig people sees things differently and i'm not gonna sweat it anymore. Quote:

I have no interest in Jeter's autograph but overrated? The guy is going to end up 3rd or 4th on the all-time hit list.

Guys have attitudes no matter what sport.
1973 My family had moved to Dalton Ma. That fall the town hosted the ISDT a six day motorcycle race. First time ever in the US. And a huge deal to a JR high boy. The motorcycles were impounded each night. Only a brief time allowed in the morning for repairs. The riders left the impound through a chain link bordered path leading into the team area all of it in the middle of the tradeshow. Of course we wanted autographs! Especially of the US guys. The Pentons who were sons of the owner of the company that made the team bikes. And both of them were whiny jerks. (We used other words, yeah even in JR High.) "Sorry guys my hand hurts" or "sorry, my wrist" One guy had no outward signs of a problem, the other just a bandaid. Heck, maybe I could get out of homework if I had a bandaid on my hand..... The Russian guy however...........Broken arm. Still riding. We figured there was no way he was signing at all. He had a cast, and had just done a solid 8 hours of advanced trail riding. He looked at the gauntlet of kids and whistled to the mechanic. Who brought him a pen that fit perfectly into a socket molded into his cast. Then he signed for everyone. Hardly what we expected - We had a kids eye view of Russians as the scary comunists who ruled most sports except baseball football and maybe basketball. I don't recall his name, but still have the autographs. and program somewhere. And a very long lasting memory about someone who really went beyond what was necessary and provided a great example to a bunch of kids. Maybe they should find him and hire him to give the guys like Jeter a talking to? Steve B PS the East Germans were also pretty gracious when dads car rolled into their equipment van at one of the banquets... |

I'm 26. I grew up in Florida. When I was in middle school my aunt dated the son of a higher up in the Yankees brass. One summer I went to a game with my dad. We had great seats behind home plate. After the game my dad and I waited for the players in the player parking lot. I walked over and asked Jeter for an autograph. Jeter said "you don't have enough money, kid" and walked away. My dad has hated him ever since.

It is not technically part of his job but it is something that a decent ball player would take the time to do, knowing how people feel about him. If he wants to eliminate the obvious profit makers that is his choice but the average fan is not trying to make money from his signature.
The players should realize how much it does mean to the people who are paying the freight and at least a modest accommodation would be the right thing to do.
