Interesting I never was a huge fan of Jeter's, granted he was very good but playing in N.Y I thought he got alot of press. In my time prior to the explosion of steroids, I thought Cal Ripkin was the best SS I have ever seen, all people seem to remember was his games streak and he more or less looked like a 3rd baseman playing short, but he had a great glove and natural power for a guy that played short. Plus you could always count on 162 games a year from Cal.
