Derek Jeter's Hall of Fame Career 

"DID YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT" That's the full quote.

An absolute privilege to see this man play. Last stop in his legendary career. Among the greatest players, where he belongs. Congrats Captain.

DEREK JETER👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽DEREK JETER👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

one thing that's really underrated about 2 is when he achieved milestones, he always deferred thanking teammates/coaches first, it was never about him he is so humbled.

It's crazy the amount of days he was in contention for the playoffs. That is simply the most amazing stat. #Re2pect

How is CARLOS DELGADO not in the HOF??? 473 homers, 1,512 RBI, 1,241 runs, .280/.383/.546 with a .929 career OPS. He was a one-man wrecking crew who NEVER had a hint of steroid controversy or innuendo.

I’m a Mets fan so I feel objective here. With his stats, glove, heady play, leadership, consistency and 5 rings, how does anyone say he’s not the epitome of a HOF lock? With the steroids and sign stealing scandals, Jeter is in ANOTHER class in my opinion! God speed Jeets

Jeter=Kobe of baseball. Both stayed with one franchise for 2 decades.

He has more hits than the iron horse. More Yankee hits ever. "The dive, the flip. 5 Rings. All Star.

DJ is my favorite ball player & reason I became a Yankee fan. Class act. Unanimous

One of the greatest SS in MLB history... offensively. That -152-DRS in the field from 03-14 is straight horrifying haha

Type of player you tell your grandchildren about

The most intriguing thing about his career is that he started with the Yankees. They didn’t have to overpay for him in free agency like most Yankees

That story that Michael said about Jeter is just the epitome of class man. Major role model to me.

Mets fan here. Well deserved Jeter congrats!

Wow i can't believe Derek is going to the HOF already. I remember when they called him up in 95 in September. It was a pleasure to watch the probably last 5 tool player and pure hitter for his entire career

No one's sweeter than Jeter!

Halfway through his career, I was certain he would be a first year HOFer. He had the skills, and most of all, the attitude and hustle.

Derek Jeter the best ever forever ever 💪

Anyone know who the "famous Yankee" from the New York Magazine article was?

The most perfect player ever

Jeter actually got better in the post season because in the postseason he faced better pitching. If you're hitting for the same average against better pitchers, that means you're hitting better

Favorite athlete of all time

He’ll go down in baseball history as one of the best players of all time

Curt Schilling should be in the Hall of Fame. Curt was clutch in the biggest games in baseball biggest stage LCS & World Series. I don’t agree with Schilling politics, however his political views should not negate his rightful place in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Sanctimonious Baseball Writers strike again

Congratulations Captain!

Almost 2,000 runs, the definition of always being at the right place at the right time.

Rival players to JD: take that uniform off what are. JD: philanthropist, playboy, mogul, got my own team, ain't that enough????

For anyone who doesn't vote Jeter into Cooperstown (1st ballot) they should have their Voting card pulled. 6th in all time Hits with 3465, he only had 63 AB's in 2013 - if he plays a full season he could have racked in over 3600 hits. Post season lets add 200 more hits over 446 AB's.

DJ2 is beloved and adored by NYY fans. the personification of excellence i couldn't think of a more deserving candidate. the man had the perfect script for a career. he stayed out of trouble and rep the NYY brand with class.

The Captain!!!

Don Mattingly needs to be in there.

He was the face of MLB for a whole generation. He wasn't MVP caliber any year he played, but he was always consistently good defensively and offensively. #2 Derek Jeter #2

Clutch, one word.. everything else is part of him being the kid who got it done every single day.

What kind of jerk gives this conversation a thumbs down

I think it's the intangibles that are inspiring to his teammates and demoralizing to Yankees' opponents. When you piece together those numbers and those jump-step throws and punch shots into right field, it'll make more sense to you why he played a full season of playoff games.

New York Yankees should be blessed to have seen Derek Jeter play his whole career as a New York Yankee. Derek Jeter accomplished once in a lifetime stuff.

11:15 the famous Yankee was Reggie Jackson. Michael has told this story before using his name. Not sure why he's censoring it now

14:37 you think he was talking about judge?

Un grande

Does anyone know who the _one_ writer was that didn’t vote for him?

You have to wonder who the jerk was who didn't vote for him and why?

Really had to roast my pirates like that:(

He did give Jessica Alba herpsss 😂😂😂

And people call this man overrated😑😑😑

During his career was there anyone in sports with more success on the biggest stages and less controversy. In all of sports I can’t think of one person

If the yankees had moved Jeter to 2nd, 3rd, or even LF we would be talking about him as one of the top 25 players in baseball history, without a doubt. The fact he is still a HOFer, despite being a cement block at shortstop, shows just how good he was at the plate.

It's crazy that in this day and age, with so much that analytics has done, and proven, that people still doubt analytics, or even understand what its true purpose is! What these guys fail to realize is that Derek Jeter is the absolute perfect example of an analytics player. If someone were to run the numbers on Jeter, early in his career, his analytics would have been off the charts! Derek Jeter is exactly the kind of player that analytics would have recommended to any team early in his career when he wasn't a household name. A player who didn't seem to have that one monstrous part of his game, but enough of all his other tools to become more than an asset and possibly even a Hall of Famer someday! These talking heads fail to realize that the purpose of analytics, mostly, is to find players who get on base. Derek Jeter was exactly that, a player who got on base a lot! Shit, it might have been some kind of analytics that brought him to Yankees in the first place. Someone watched him play and saw enough of what he did to place him on the big stage. They realized that he did not have a home-run bat but he had enough of his other tools and HE GOT ON BASE!! That is analytics, boys!

Probably the Greatest baseball player ever

I wonder how Jeter is feeling these days trying to make a triple AAA team into a contending major league team with an ever dwindling fan base. He's gone from the NY penthouse to the Miami outhouse

Derek Jeter wasn't the Yankee captain. He IS...MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL'S CAPTAIN!!! He played the game with HONOR and RESPECT, PLAYED TO WIN, and has 5 rings to prove his greatness. The Frank Sinatra of baseball!! #OleBlueEyes

the oakland game in the playoffs, why was he there? how did he know? you cant steal that sign, and you cant coach that. ill never forget that play

He's gonna make the HOF unanimously..

And he never used a buzzer!!!!!

Jeter is a ghost! When you sit down and think about the Yankee greats, he will go down in the same convo as Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Yogi...

This man said "Game speeds up for Derek in the postseason", then proceeds to say he plays like its June.

5x Silver Slugger n a 5x Gold Glover!

Derek Jeter is best

ARod the best player ever. Happy for Jeter but no pizazz at all. ARod brilliant!!!

omar vizqial should have made it in too.

Michael “Rubicon” Kay

This guy: “holy shit he was famous and actually a decent person”

He played 20 years with our Yankees and is going into the Hall of Fame solely as a YANKEE. Good God, I'M GETTING OLD!

there's only one thing i didn't like about the NYY when DJ2 was a FA. there was a report saying Jeter wanted more money then he was offered that's a misinterpretation. in negotiations numbers are being passed around it doesn't mean Jeter was selfish. like any FA you want to get paid and apparently the report said Jeter was mad at the NYY that was BS too. the story was fabricated by the media he cleared it up though Jeet said he hate how the negotiations became public and that's true. keep private talks out of the public.

even here at the Republic of Palau, we are rooting for the Yankees and the Captain...so not popular in North America, but the world, even down here at the South Pacific....Gooo Yanks

I know modern stat heads undervalue average, but to hit 310 for 20 years... will anyone ever do that again?

The best ever! In a time where everyone was using HGH, he was the one you knew was clean. So deservable!!! #2

So because he didn’t say something mean in the locker room, he’s the greatest player of all time? He was a career singles hitter and a HISTORICALLY bad defender who played on the biggest team in baseball for his entire career.

The audio on these uploads have been lousy lately. Too soft too.

Curt should be in.

It's a shame that 1 person decided on his own that he shouldn't get 100% of the votes...one of the best all around shortstops ever...i wonder what he's gonna do when it gets to Kershaw, Verlander, and Scherzer let alone Pujols, Arenado, or Trout

Jeter is an all-time great player. He was also a terrible defender. His oWAR is 96.3, and his rWAR is 72.4. Yikes-so don't pull this "analytics can't do him justice," "he won Gold Gloves" stuff. You don't need to! He was a fantastic player who arguably is the last star that transcended the sport and likely made the performance of his teammates better.

What made jeter one of best players ever was not is numbers but what he did was did what ever needed to do to win. Whether it was a single a double a HR a bunt or a great defensive play. He did it . Baseball these days everyone is going for HR its disgusting

Coming from a lifetime Mets fan, I really am a Yankees hater and not gonna lie ,I enjoyed watching them lose in the playoffs the last couple of seasons but can't say nothing bad about Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Bernie Williams.......

He was a good player, but since he played for the Yankees, they hyped him up. Would he have the same numbers in last place teams, no. He was a product of the Yankees and ESPN And everyone knows it. What, he did not cheat, please. Come on man.

Oh yes, Jeter is the second coming of Christ himself. I heard he doesn’t even sh*t out feces, he actually shoots out gold when he moves his bowels, it’s amazing. I’ve heard he can walk on water, then also he is responsible for saving every child in the world’s life that were rescued from house fires. He wasn’t even there and his spirit ran in and saved them. Also he can fly. Idk if you all knew this but Jeter has the ability to fly and transport whenever he would like. Ive heard he also never sleeps. His body doesn’t require it, he just sits down from time to time for about 5 minutes and that’s all the rest he needs. By far the strongest man that ever lived too. He’s so unbelievable, just the greatest human thats ever graced us with his presence. Actually I misspoke, he’s not human even I’ve heard. He like a cyborg mixed with a God. It’s unbelievable. Oh and that he’s not going to Michigan he’s going to Cooperstown line never happened.

Ultimate RE2PECT

👏👏👏👍

if dan lebatard votes jeter wont get 100% he hates jeter

The streak was largely based on luck. I mean Jeter hurt his shoulder in a freak play and he broke his ankle on a simple ground ball. None of which he had control over or was the reason of lack of taking care of his body. Not to mention the way the game is managed now players are sat down for anything that may possibly risk further injury. I respect the streak, but that in and of itself is not a just statistic to measure someone’s greatness.

RE2PECT

Top 20 players all time. Top 5 most clutch players all time! His name lives along side great yankees like Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle, etc.

WWDD

2:21 "He won five Gold Gloves but nobody would say he was the greatest defensive shortstop of all time." No, unfortunately with baseball's modern metrics - DRS as the end-all gold standard (and now OAA), it's hard to fathom but Jeter turns out to be the worst defensive shortstop of his era, and probably all time. But, Kay is describing what makes Jeter great - 100 percent effort, all day, every day, his welcoming supporting persona, countless times pulling off the big play at just the right moment. His offense was out standing and his ability to get the big hit in critical situations was uncanny - and, he led every other player of his era in BA with runners in scoring position. He is a true HOFer. There are a lot of the "good guys" in baseball, Jeter probably influenced them. More should be like him. Congrats on a great career.

To be honest his defense wasn’t that good To the people that disagree look at his defense stats

OVERRATED! ...is what morons say. Absolute legend.

who's the animal that didn't vote for him???

over rated on his defence.other than that the best!!!

10:29 Uhhhh What controversy? He gave Jessica Alba Herpes! I can't think of a more despicable act.

Michael Kay, outing himself as a member of the "Orange ogre-man bad" crowd

The 1 jerk that didn't vote for him should be stripped of their voting rights and I'm not a Yankees fan at all. One of the top 15 or 20 players ever!!!

guess cause it was a designer steroid an not just a steriod he gets a pass?

Don’t forget he was an awful fielder and is most known for cutting off a perfect throw

The one person who didn’t vote for Jeter should lose the privilege to vote

He’s overrated af

Jeter is not a Hall of Famer
