But these are highlights you all have seen, us fortunate enough to see him play on a near everyday basis know mr. Jeter is and never will be "overrated."

Cal Ripken $1000? Mickey $1000 Ted Willaims$1000 Wille Mays $1000 Hank AAron $1000 Tony Gwynn $1000 Dimaggio $1000 and lets not for the man with ten rings. Yogi $1000
Ripken hit a hr in his last all star game. Willams hit a hr last time at bat. He played won five rings in twenty years much less than most of the famous Yankee players

Really, only Jetter in the last fifty years. He is the greatest baseball player in the history of baseball in the last fifty years. I will even give you the last thrity years. He is the greates player to ever play in the last thrity years. Are you only talking Yankees.

Then Yankee fans can say something. If it comes down to great players in the last 30 years I would put him in the bottom if that.

I must not understand you. You are telling me that a Yankee fan things that Jetter is better than Mantle? I understand he is a today Yankee. He is not yet in the Hall and he will be signing for rest of his life and your saying he is worth more than Mantle. If that is true it is really sad. That is why there are so many forged items.
No one in there right mind can afford him.
The difference from Gwynn and Jetter is Tony would sign for anyone anywhere not true with Jetter. He also is very famous for his gift baskets.
By the way. Who is going to be the next great Yankee when Jetter leaves. Is there going to be a next great Yankee.?

Shelly, I'm saying he is the greatest yankee since........ You can name anyone, he picked up where legends left off. He's a legend at this point, legends command premiums. Granted jeters is way too high but people pay it so what can we do.

I am sorry, I really might be to old to put him in the same sentence as Babe, lou, Joe, Mickey,Gibson, Mays Arron, Koufax Williams Ryan to me those are people I would call legends. Jetter is a great player but in no way is he a legend unless you are a Yankee fan.
Even with two hits in the all star game they did not give him the mvp. Mo got it doing nothing but being the best there every was at his job. It does say something when they did not give it to him. Even before the game the play by play guys said if he gets a hit the trophy is his.
