I agree, Goombah. I think the other two things that set Jeter apart were his complete commitment to the sport. When he played, he always gave 100%. The other is the absolute joy he brings to every game. He truly loves baseball, and that was conveyed in every single game.

Add that to some of this legendary plays, like the Mr. November play, the Dive and the Flip, and you have to agree that he belongs in the history books.
