I think its the GOAT MLB play, have watched it countless times. Its so classic. The announcer saying they need to wait for a gapper, first baseman's dive, the cowbell, Giambi's fat ass chugging around the bases, the TWO missed cutoff men and then fucking Jeter coming all the way over from SS to grab the ball and perfectly "flip" it to Posada who makes the most unbelievable swipe tag between Giambi's legs and JUST catching a whiff of his pants before he touches home plate. And then the umpire punching the air emphatically, he was right there to make the right call before there was replay.
The announcer saying, "THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE PLAYS YOU WILL EVER SEE FROM A SHORTSTOP!"
And finally, Jeter coming into the frame right before the cut to commercial pumping his fist right as the umpire was beginning to make the call.
My five year old mixed son watched it and goes, "I'm Derek Jeter." He plays T-ball. Left handed. I have him batting right handed this year. Next year I'll switch him. Maybe.

Crazy that Derek Jeter was a below-average defensive shortshop. Really a good example of someone who wouldn't/shouldn't be in the HoF but for the nostalgia of faggot dorks.

Lol just create a jewish advanced statistics called "wins above replacement". Why not boil down Goodness of Player into a single number too. I guess credit to him for playing for the most jewish fan base in baseball.
(For those reading along, jeter's career WAR is #96 all-time, which puts him right between bobby grich and rafael palmiero--which I think we can all agree overstates his talent/impact significantly.)

Ur the one who brought up ops+ u fucking dweeb
He's 9th all time amongst shortstops, 6th if you take out dead ball era players. And none of the remaining guys won five world series. Did Jeter fuck ur sister or something

Not a racing fan but it seems like just as much of a sport as horse racing which is literally the sport of kings. A horse and a horse jockey both seem like athletes to me.
Roman’s also raced chariots. I think there’s a solid historical basis for saying auto racing is a sport.
