Today's Poll: Is Derek Jeter overrated?

By Howard B. Owens
Tim Miller

I haven't really heard anybody with any sense claiming he's the greatest player ever. But Jeter is and has been very, very good, and the kudos being given to him are well deserved.

Baring the nonsensical "greatest player ever" claim, he's far from overrated.

So a guy brings a dog into a talent agent, and says his dog can talk.
"Prove it" said the agent.
So the guy asks the dog "what's on top of a house? "Roof, roof" goes the dog.
"What part of a tree digs into the ground?" "Root, root".
"Who was the greatest baseball player ever?" "Ruth, Ruth"!

At this point, the agent throws both the man and the dog out of his office.
The dog looks at the man and says "maybe I should have said DiMaggio?"

Greatest? The numbers don't show it. A great player....yes. He has always had a love for the game. He played the game the way it was supposed to be played. Always seem to come through in the clutch. He had talent that can't be learned. Everything he did , came from within.
No, not the greatest.....just the latest.
