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.
