Like, nothing really came out from that, the Hall of Honor.
There was no scuttlebutt.
about those two guys when they were there together.
It was those two and Marquise Pouncey who got all put in together.
Probably my personal favorite Hall of Honor class so far with those three.
And then we get this a couple of months later.
What's up, Godfather?
Well, A-Rod really should not have done it.
It was all because the Yankees wouldn't let a player besides Derek Jeter play at shortstop.
But a little fun fact there, Alex Rodriguez was a better shortstop than Derek Jeter was.
They forced A-Rod to play third base.
That's how that went.
I've long said that Derek Jeter, not to get on this rant, but Jeter is, as a fielder, one of the more overrated shortstops of all time.
Yeah, I mean, hell of a hitter, without question.
Extremely clutch in big moments, but fielding-wise, one of the more overrated defensive players that...
we have seen in Major League Baseball in the last 30 years.
That's the only reason why Alex Rodriguez had to move to third base.
He was the best shortstop on the Yankees roster in the mid-2000s, and it wasn't close.
