His battin...Re Derek Jeter:<BR/><BR/>I think he'd be a HOFer. His batting average is nearly .320. There is only one player who's hit for a higher average with more than 5,000 ABs since the turn of the century (1900s) who hasn't made the HOF. <BR/><BR/>Plus I think the best comparison to Jeter would be someone like Kirby Puckett, loved in the hometown (at time of retirement), great average hitter, average pop.<BR/> <BR/>Kirby has slighty more HRs, Kirby has same average, Jeter has more speed, bothe played tough fielding positions, both had multiple WS titles that many felt they were a major part of.<BR/><BR/>If you allow Puckett in, then Jeter is in also. Especially if you consider that the only way Jeter would stop right now is if he got hurt. <BR/><BR/>Of course, if we find out Jeter is mixed up with the steroids stuff, then he's done too (no accusations, just a point)NAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17958843468425299776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-26483799573395766942007-07-29T18:02:00.000-04:002007-07-29T18:02:00.000-04:00Fav Character: Troy McClureFav episode: "Cape Fear...Fav Character: Troy McClure<BR/><BR/>Fav episode: "Cape Fear" or "Beer Baron"<BR/><BR/>Quote(s): McClure: "Jimmy this is the killing floor.

The man was a pleasure to watch during the game, but an amazing guy off the court. I can't say enough about him. <BR/><BR/>My favorite Skip moment came my junior year. I was a bit of a gym rat, and Skip (and some of his coaches) would occasionally come down to the O'Connor Sports Center and get in the pick up games. Well, I made the mistake of guarding Skip for two games...and he used and abused me. The best was after I had made a decent stop on 2 consecutive drives, I'm sagging off and he nails a three in my eye, then gives me a little wink. Afterward he told me I needed to work a bit on my footwork, but he thought I had a nice shot. I was on cloud nine for a month.<BR/><BR/>I'll miss you Skip. And I hope boys upstairs have good footwork.marvin's lost smilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03766023241259644967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-46772458859401589112007-07-28T09:21:00.000-04:002007-07-28T09:21:00.000-04:00Ok, I can't help myself now.
