There's more news bits and musings that don't make the blog that get posted daily there.<br /><br />As for Jeter's all-time ranking, I am admittedly not as strong in evaluating older players as a lot of other bloggers are, but my all-time Top 5 would be, in order, Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio, and Jeter.<br /><br />I think there's a sizable gap between Joe D and Jeter, but based on his career longevity, career statistical totals, consistency in his offensive production, the fact that said production was elite-level for the position he's played, and all the championships and awards he's won, to me it's an easy case to make for Jeter being top 5 all time.<br /><br />That's what makes the PB Top 100 idea such a fun concept, though.

To me I wasn't so sure that he cracks the top 5, the top 10 absolutely, but I'm just not completely sold on the top 5. Your thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
