Jeter is going to end up 6th in all-time hits, possibly 5th... I say that's astounding, all things considered. More hits than Gwynn, Brett, and a host of others.
I've never given Jeter the credit he deserves, but I have come to recognize that my view of him was jaded by my disdain for the Yankees. When I really look at his career objectively, I find it pretty amazing.
