I heard this story too and immediately thought of SB. I didn't have the heart to post it.
I'm not surprised that Jeter and ARod made both lists. It was just a different 10% that voted. They are two players, for whom there is no middle ground of opinion. Kind of like the Yankees, Red Sox, Dallas Cowboys and Notre Dame. They evoke the most passionate responses whether you're for them or against them.
I'm going to have to disagree with some of your statement. I agree that certain players like certain teams "evoke the most passionate responses" but why lump Jeter into that category? A-Rod, Curt Schilling, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens (now), even Pete Rose I can understand. But what has Derek Jeter even done? Why does he deserve the same treatment as these others?
