Well, that's just it. If Jeter had four or five years with 250 hits, and let's say injuries had forced him out, would that be considered 'great'? 250 hits is almost unthinkable nowadays (unless you're Ichiro a few years ago), but he'd have retired with a third of the career hits. Is that better than getting 180, 190, 200, 210 hits every year for 15+ years? Like I said in my previous post, he may not be considered one of the greatest hitters of our time, but this accomplishment sure is.
-
Yeah, but since when has getting 3000 hits been about being the best player year in and year out? Getting 3000 hits is about being a consistently good hitter throughout your entire career. I'm not in the "Jeter = Greatest Ever" boat, but you can't poo-poo the fact that he just joined a club of 27 others out of the thousands and thousands and thousands of players to suit up in the league. He may not have ever been great, but what he accomplished this afternoon is.

Well, in '99, he led the league in hits and hit .349, and had over 100 RBI's. I think Bernie was around .340 and hit over 100 RBI's too. From just using my memory, I think that was Jeter's most productive year offensively. And he followed that up with a very impressive post-season en route to a World Championship. If we're going on just offensive numbers, that would be the year where he'd at least be in consideration for 'best on the team'.

Guess it depends on what you mean by 'best player'.
-
Yeah, I love Jeter and all. I think he's a great sportsman. I'd put him in the Top 25. Of All-Time Yankees. He's not a Top 10 Yankee and he sure as hell ain't a Top 10 of All Time. I don't want to take away what Jeter has done; 3000 hits is amazing, but people need to come down from the little cloud they're on.

What happened to the Ohio State fan that was in here talking about how classy Tressel was? I want to hear his opinions on all of this.

Giving TEW 2005 another shot. C-Mil's diary has taught me nothing!

Alright, +1, you earned that one.

Wow, Ohio State. Way to really put the hammer down on yourself. I hope the NCAA laughs at their sad little self-imposed 'punishment' and slaps their ass with a real one.

I'll be out of town until next Sunday, so whoever starts the dynasty for the 360, I'll just jump in then. If you all can't wait that long to get started, that is.

I hadn't played since NHL 09 before buying last years. I enjoyed the amateur draft and hope they expand on that. I said last year that NHL would be an every other year purchase, but I think I'll start that with NHL 12.

What do they do for the 45 minutes between each AB? Show any of the numerous highlights of Derek Jeter's Hall of Fame career. He is so great that he will be the first player ever to get 100% of the vote on the first ballot, AND every team will retire his number once he's gone. I don't think words can quantify just how much he has meant to baseball the very fabric of American society. Got that right. Glad to see you're coming around, naiwf.

Two hits away.

The tackling is oh so nice. It actually looks like you're being tackled and not a canned animation.
-
And da rocksta. Apologies.

So it's still just Maxx and I in the 360 dynasty?

So the only way to redemption is to do a bold-face lie?! I may not have reputation, sir, but I still have my integrity!

Amazing.

His kid is genuinely adorable. Also this reminds me of the time TGC reset my post count to zero from about eleven thousand.
