Firebirdcrazy...I agree with you on many accounts. I for one still feel Roger Maris is the single-season home run king. When juiced up guys were breaking his record I thought it was such a disgrace. And it KILLS me that he is still not in the hall of fame. Aside from breaking Ruth's record he has 2 MVP awards, 3 world series titles, was a gold glove winner and 4 time all-star. Can't understand it.
But in regards to Jeter, to me he is the only current player in baseball that I could see playing in the golden era of baseball. From the time he was a child he wanted to play for the Yankees. He has tremendous pride and loyalty to the team. He puts his team first. Plays because he wants to play. Doesn't show off, doesn't create any nonsense outside of the game, and is just an all around class act.
