Jeter and Gwynn

Both Derek and Tony played 20 years for the same franchise and were class acts. I'm curious as to how people rate their respective careers, and how different things would have been had Tony been on uniformly good teams like Jeter.

    This is my favorite Derek Jeter stat. Let the page load for a few seconds if need be...it will calculate automatically.

    It actually took him just long enough. We can now add it to his long list of accomplishments. God bless him.

    Guess you'd be surprised that I'm a Yankees fan. But, even I know he's overrated. Overrated doesn't mean terrible, you know.

    Agree +100000000
    Jeter is great. No doubt. But he wasn't the second coming of Honus Wagner nor was he the reincarnation UL Washington either.
