He got 3,000 hits, so he should be in the Hall. But outside of hitting for average (.310 is good, I will give him that), tell me what Derek Jeter did that was exceptional?
He did the image thing exceptionally well, particularly in contrast to his teammate ARod who was far and away the better baseball player.
