There Are 9 People in the History of Mankind that Have More Hits than Derek Jeter
9 people. Outside of 9 exceptions, Derek Jeter has done something more times than any person to ever walk this planet. I’m pretty sure that I’m a top 10 whiffle ball pitcher in the world. I also may be top 10 at guessing how much the check is at dinner. I’m unnaturally good at that. But aside from that, I’m not cracking the top million in anything. 9 people. The list of humans for whom Antonio Cromartie is paying child support is longer than the roster in front of Jeter for all time hits. Not like he needs any more validation in his illustrious career, but there’s something special about attaching the numerical significance of cracking the top 10 to Jeter’s legacy. It may seem arbitrary, but it’s a pretty big deal. Don’t see too many top 11 lists on trivia night at the bar. So while we’ve all known for years that Jeter is one of the all-time elite hitters, he can now proudly flaunt that invitation to the top 10 club. But he wont, and that’s what makes Derek different than the 9 guys in front of him. You know he would trade 2000 of his hits right now if it meant one more ring. He’s sure as hell not celebrating the milestone as much as he should be, so we might as well do it for him. 9 fucking people. Maybe now he can get some ass.
You posted this shit last night asshole. Fuck off
So Strasser…Question is would you blow Jeter during one of his herpe outbreaks?
Well, we know he can always have YOUR ass, can’t he Strass, you cock-gobbling faggot.
if you wouldn’t blow Jeter you’re gay
What the fuck do you know about the 9 guys ahead of him dickhead that makes Jeter different?
Jeter is definitely #1 in MLB History in hitting shitty bloopers over the second basemans head and making routine groundballs hit to him look dramatic as fuck.
if you bat second in a lineup for 20 years, you’re going to get the at bats to get that many hits. as much as i respect the guy as a leader and a champion (i’m a sox fan), i think he’s also one of the most overrated players in history. mister bloop.
Go fuck yourself, for real. You are awful.
That’s what makes him different from the other nine? Who the fuck are you?
I also may be top 10 at guessing how much the check is at dinner. So you may be the top ten in the world at adding you fucking idiot. Its like they got a 15 year old that played for the yankees in little league to write this blog.
There is NOBODY on earth with more wounded quails to RF than Jeter. It’s his signature hit.
Sorry, peyton beat me to it.
newsflash to all you losers in baseball.. red sox have never had a SS good enough to even wash Jeter’s jock strap. have fun waiting another 300 years for a world series
He’s like Brett Favre, he has longevity numbers. Still overrated.
And this is why people laugh at Yankee fans. Jeter has had a grear career. He’ll be in the Hall of Fame. But please….the fucking guy is 52nd all time in WAR, 241st in OPS, 404th in OPS+ (which puts into perspective his position, league, and ballpark). But do you know what category he kills it in? Singles! 6th all time! Hits don’t mean as much when you don’t do it with much power. Don’t get me wrong, he’s shown enough power as a SS, but in the big picture, he’s not a top 50 hitter of all time. Not even close. And don’t get me started on his defense. He’s been a statue for the past 8 years. So, in sum, he had a great career but he’s still the most overrated player in the past 50 years. Move him out of NY and he’s Barry Larkin with a longer, healthier career (of course without Barry’s great speed and excellent defense). Oh, and his WS titles are tainted by being surrounded by literally more than a dozen admitted cheats. Sorry, truth hurts.
You’re welcome for the lesson. Read up next time. But what else should people expect from Yankee fans…a group that voted Jeter the greatest Yankee of all time, Jeremy Lin the most loved NY athlete and a bandwagon represented by a blogger who thinks the Yankees can finish HALF a game out of first. Lol. Embarrassing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik0IPEIV8sU pretty sure this dude is the best wiffle ball pitch walking on the planet right now
tampa insightful post but you’re kind of a huge fag for looking up all those stats for the purpose of posting it on barstool. sorry. truth hurts
Jeter overrated?? So you are saying if you could go back to ’96 knowing what you know now, you could pick any SS you want.. it wouldn’t be Jeter? Even better, lets say you could pick any SS to ever play the game, in their prime, to start next season for you.. if you have 1/2 a brain.. you’re still picking Jeter
^^If I went back to 1996 and had my pick of SS it would be Alex Rodriguez.
Yes, BWD, it’s very difficult to click on Career Perspective of BasballRef and type in “Jeter”, it takes a whole, 6 or 7 seconds. But why would you know, actually statistics matter to a Yankee fan, right? Lol.
As to CantStop, so you’re saying Jeter is the best SS over the past 15 years? Probably (although ARod was crushing him until they made him move). And any SS to ever play the game in their prime? Are you fucking nuts? Ever heard of:
ARod, Ernie Banks, Cal Ripken, Robin Yount, and the Greatest of all time, Honus Wagner. Shit, if you’re just talking about peaks, you could throw in Appling, Boudreau or Vaughan.
its spelled Wiffle you cock sucker
@cantstopbumrush – you didnt seriously say if you could pick any SS ever, in their prime, that you would pick Jeter, did you? cause if thats what you said you might be the dumbest goomba trash ever, in your prime. holy fucking shit dude
Jack…you’d take Honus Wagner against today’s pitchers?? ok pal, lets see how Honus deals with knuckleballs and backdoor sliders
what do you think a top fastball was in 1897? 75 mph?? The Flying Dutchman would be Juan Pierre today
Ahaha, this site has Jeter as the #143rd greatest hitter of all-time behind the great Chili Davis. http://www.baseballsgreatesthitters.com/Retired_and_active.html
Lol, JackofSpades. There were plenty of knuckleball pitchers in the early 1900s. Ever heard of Eddie Cicotte? Jesus Christ, how is it Yankee fans are so uninformed? And how would today’s players do against legal spit and scuff balls like Wagner faced? Okay, fine, if you don’t want to use “modern ball” stats (after 1900), then lets just throw out Ruth and Gehrig’s numbers too because the game was dramatically different then too. Shit, Dimaggio, Musial, and Williams didn’t play against minorities…let’s get rid of their stats too. Wake up kiddo.
Walter Johnson was clocked at 99.7 using two separate (although rudimentary) speed clocks. And he began his career in 1907. Please, stop posting Jack of Spades, I’m begging you. You don’t know a thing about baseball and it’s apparent. You look foolish right now. Please, stop for your sake.
Tampa Jack’s routine is always the same. Every yankee sucks. No WS count because of steroids, and yankee fans are retarded. The fact that you come on here almost every time there is any sort of yankee post to spew the same shit (which you blindly believe is an “informed opinion”) is beyond sad. The only reason I even waste time to respond to him is to tell him how much of an asshole he is. Go get a job/life you fucking cum dumpster.
PS- i dont know what’s up with the new vote up/down thing but anyone who votes tampa’s comments up are probably just as dumb as tampa is.
Tampa Jack, will you marry me?
Hey 28, u mad, bro? Lol. I didn’t say Jeter sucks, I said he had a great career and that he’s a HOFer – just that he’s wildly overrated by Yankee “fans” who don’t really know baseball. It’s not your fault, NY isn’t a baseball town – Yankee fans are just bandwagoners by nature. Sorry if the actual statistics prove that he’s nowhere near as good as what Michael Kay tells you. There’s a giant world out there kiddo, don’t be afraid to leave your Yankee-centric bubble. Hang in there, Son.
Tampa Jack…Jealous much? Yea you can spit out all the stats you want, call him overrated all you want. 6 rings is all that counts. Oh an endless amounts of smokeshow pussy. Your either from Tampa or like the Rays or both…which explains your tirade, as you watch your team fall 7 games back this weekend and get to watch the best SS in history make his 17th appearane in the playoffs. Not to mention you forgot to list all his post season stats…kind of a big ommision. Tampa sucks, you suck, go fuck ya self.
^ the really dumb part is she’s a cardinals fan….not that they have ever had anyone linked to steroids…oh wait, nvm
“Yeah you can spit out all the stats you want, call him overrated all you want. 6 rings is all that counts”
Yes, you clearly know a lot about baseball. What a brilliant defense of Capt Overrated. Haha…and this is why you guys prove me right every time. These are the reasons why America laughs at Yankee fans…Game…Set…Match.
