There's no stars in racing? Is that right?

Including the players you listed, a case could be made for at least these guys over Jeter;

Barry Larkin
Luke Appling
Cal Ripken
Arky Vaughan

A case (at least a weak one) could even be made for Alan Trammell, but I would still put Jeter in front of Trammell.

A case could even be made for Alan Trammell, considering how clutch he was in the playoffs, and his solid career stats, but I would still put Jeter in front of Trammell.

Tramell isnt that close, Larkin wasnt as good of a hitter and not nearly as durable, Appling wasnt as good statwise especially if you take out 1936 which was so far out of character for him that surely there were people calling him a roid freak even if roids hadnt been invented yet. Maybe Vaughan but he had a short run. Ripken is valid
