And for the “intangibles,” they won precisely 1 World Series after he became The Captain in ‘03. They did blow a 3-0 to the Red Sox, though.

I guess they're all voting for him because of the famous pro-yankees bias among sports writers then lol

No, they're voting for him because sportswriters are married to the narratives they spin even more than the political press. He showed up five minutes before the Yankees started winning World Series, and his calm eyes were the reason.

I'm sorry, that maybe true, but this is the greatest example of "Don't give up on a play," in all of sports history. Ya know what Jeter had that the Arod's never did? Those intangibles. The Captain.https://youtu.be/ApoJk9X7Vto

You're exaggerating both the viewpoint and number of people who hold it. I think most agree Jeter was never a top defender, but to conclude he was "historically bad" requires you believe defensive metrics, which rely on subjective inputs, are reliable going back over a century.

Jeter was the first Yankee to have an on-field monument while still playing.
