I also despise Yankee fans for their “true-Yankee” bullshit. A-Rod is so clearly a superior player (and with laughable obviousness, a superior defensive shortstop) to your precious Jeter, but small sample size and selectiveness makes Jeter appear to the truly deluded to be a better player than A-Rod (whom I also dislike but not as a player on the field). The fact that they will grossly overpay Jeter for the remaining years on his contract says all that needs to be said about Yankees, as compared to other teams with whom they supposedly compete: money is meaningless, and the playing field is far from level. Which knowledge helps me make sense of your non-stop boasting about winning so many championships. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/major-league-baseball-the-2010-playoffs/556197)._
