Let's not act like closer is some position that does not matter at all. It is not like he was the greatest bench player ever or the greatest pinch hitter ever.

This is a guy who was HUGE to them during their run.

Mariano > Jeter

Jeter is the greatest ever at his position? I know Missouri doesn't have much to offer, but put down the pipe.

where did I say that? Not even close.

Mariano is the greatest at his.

Sorry, I misread your post. Closers are like kickers, however.

They would be if they kicked the ball over the plate instead of throwing it.

This Jeter hate is ridiculous. A lot of short memories here. You guys are acting like his last 3 or 4 years make up his whole career.


His 162 game averages

.310 17 HR 77RBI and 21 SB

His playoff stats over 158 games

.308 20 HR 61 RBI 18 SB


Similarity scores are all Hall of Famers
Craig Biggio (823)
Paul Molitor (805) *
Roberto Alomar (789) *
Robin Yount (786) *
Charlie Gehringer (756) *
Johnny Damon (729)
Ivan Rodriguez (723)
Joe Morgan (723) *
Ted Simmons (718)
Frankie Frisch (716) *




From 96-09 he averaged a 4.80 WAR


Great player
Hall of Famer
The Captain of Baseball
Were all lucky to have seen him play

You're right, they're less important.
