I am not that old so I didnt see many of the Yankee greats like Dimaggio and Gehrig, but to me Jeter has to be very close to the top of greatest Yankees EVER. Theres a lot to be said about consistent longevity, avoiding injuries and starting nearly every game his whole career, avoiding bad things off the field, delivering key hits in key at bats, making huge plays in the field and just overall being a hell of a person.
To me Jeter is an A+ class act, best in the game guy...but I wish he played for a different team!
