Over the years I’ve heard a lot of hatred thrown Derek Jeter’s way saying that he’s the most overrated baseball player in the game, some even say ever. Well, Jeter went 5 for 5 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday to become the 28th player in baseball history to achieve 3,000 career hits. Only the 28th and 3,000 is one of the most iconic, if not the most iconic, stats in the game. Now that Jeter has joined this class of all time greats that includes Hank Aaron, Ty Cobb, Stan Musial and others people should drop the “overrated” bit and see that Jeter is an all time great. It’s always amazed me when people tried to claim that Jeter was something less than a legend before, now if they do it I’ll know for sure that they are indeed highly ignorant. Give Jeter his due as a baseball legend and get over your asinine hatred for the man.
