As We Remember Derek Jeter, Don’t Forget His Horrid Defense

For starters, this piece is not dedicated to troll or besmirch the living New York Yankees legend that is Derek Jeter.

He is the Yankees’ all-time leader in hits (3,465), doubles (544), games played (2,747), stolen bases (358), plate appearances (12,602) and at-bats (11,195).

Jeter has also been named to 14 All-Star teams, has taken home five Silver Slugger Awards, two Hank Aaron Awards and even a Roberto Clemente Award in 2009. In 2011, he became the 28th player to reach the 3,000 hit mark and finished his career with the sixth-most hits in major league history including the most by any shortstop.
