There shouldn’t have been a rivalry. No one ever talks about A-Rod being a better defensive shortstop,but playing third base with no complaints.
It’s ironic that Jeter is known as the “ultimate team player” when he actively made his team worse for vanity (and sabotaged ARods potential accolades and stats at a much more celebrated position) meanwhile ARod sacrificed personal glory to appease Jeter (and his fans) like a real team player. ARod is definitely a weird corny guy but he did what was necessary to win.
@@kurtwagner350 What a sacrifice ... Dude with a biggest contract at the time came to the team with 4 championships in 5 years. Jeter didn't sabotage Arod, all his accolades and stats destroyed with steroids.
@@NK-qx6kkonly weirdos even care about the steroids thing. Especially since mfs cheated then and still do. Houston, spider tac ect ect
@NK-qx6kk thank you! The 2 nut huggers above are using an incredibly biased hindsighted opinion
@@NK-qx6kkgreed. I’m almost positive it was the steroids that did that. Btw A-Rod was my favorite player…
1:00 19,023 runs? That record will never be broken.
Lol
1,903
Yup!!
7:28 in Arods worst year before turning 35 he posted an OPS+ of 120.. meaning at his absolute worst he was still 20% better than league average at hitting, WHILE playing elite defense at shortstop. Guy was unbelievable
Also un an unbelievable amount of roids lmao!
@@bpba1 Lots have players have taken gear over the years, not a lot have had the type of career that Alex Rodriguez had.
Like Barry Bonds, Rodriguez was already one of the best players in the league before the PEDs
1:01 "19,023 runs" sounds about right.
Yeah, like 8 or 9 runs per game for his career. Pretty impressive I'd say!
How do you not fix that?
Seriously stopped the video to find this comment thank you
The longer the Yankees go without winning another championship the more I appreciate A-Rod for his incredible performance to lead us to that title in 09. He might not have won ALCS or WS MVP, but he was the No. 1 reason why they won.
Dont forget tex
What do you mean "us"? They played, you watched.
@@ItsAllAboutGuitarin American sports (and possibly in other nations' sports as well, but I only follow American sports so I can't be certain) it is common for fans to refer to teams they support in the first person plural. This is because fans strongly identify with their favorite teams and especially by attending and watching games, buying merchandise, and generally being informed about their team's activities they feel like the concept of a team can be broadened to include the fan base as well. Also, by saying "us" in this example it's a shorthand that avoids needing to say "the Yankees" while also still allowing the meaning to be clear.
@@ItsAllAboutGuitari don’t know how to tell you this but the team would not exist if people didn’t buy tickets and jerseys you nerd

god i miss 98-04 baseball. all juiced up, it was amazing
Same here. All these tools acting like steroids makes you a better player - it just makes you stronger. If you can't hit - steroids isn't going to help much.
@@marcoslaureano5562 exactly lol. imo it's only combat sports where either everyone or no one should be juiced. sosa, bonds, maguire home run race is what actually got me into baseball. i'm english so i would never have noticed the sport. I'm still a cardinals fan to this day 20+ years later
@@mowvu5380haha you're a fan of cheating the game. What a disgrace
Is this video being re-uploaded from like three years ago? Does this guy not know that JLo and A Rod have not been together for two years and that she is married to Ben Affleck now?
I thought i was the only one who caught that 😂
Hot take: I think I like A-Rod in retirement more than Jeter in retirement
Not a hot take. Arod actually acts like a stand up guy, while Jeter is an off putting dick
Because Jeter doesn't have the Yankees organization and New York media to back him up anymore.
Jeter has made some good cameos in movies. Oh is he still a part owner of Marlins???
Marlins fan here. He quit on us.
That means they were probably always like that. I think Jeter was quietly an a-hole the whole time.
Love the content. Your videos are always incredibly informative and well done. Appreciate your hard work.
Great vids bro!!! Love the longer vids!!!
Made my evening just now ⚾️
Your vids are always fantastic, i always learn something from them
Even Jason Giambi told A-Rod to STFU and play. A-Rod thought he was doing fine. I'm glad that Jeter and A-Rod got over their beef and are now friendly. It took a death in Jeter's life that made him say life is too short and he let bygones be bygones.
I’m actually surprised that the comments section is supporting A-Rod more than Jeter
Why? Doesn't shock me based on the age of average KZhead users in general. I'm 28, I only saw bits and pieces of Jeter's true dominance. I also didn't see the absolute best of ARod when he was a young, god-tier 5-tool player in Seattle. But ARod was significantly better as a player the entire time I watched baseball. The year's this video highlighted when the Yankees were winning like crazy and Jeter at least had somewhat close stats to ARod (never really that close but much closer), very few young fans have any personal connection to because they didn't watch them live. We have inherited connections to those teams growing up with that group of players, but for many of us, they won 1 time in 2009 and that was ARod's ring easily. The only MVP caliber season Jeter put up was in the 90s. ARod was one of the 5 best players in the league basically every year of his career until after the suspension. From an on-the-field standpoint, most younger fans are going to prefer the significantly better player.
@@cjcable6995 I just didnt expect people to support him after the steroid use
Now that they're retired you can see that Jeter was just a passive-aggressive tool. They hate him down in Florida after he pretty much ruined the Marlins and set them back a few seasons.
@@marcoslaureano5562how do you ruin something that was already bad though
@marcoslaureano5562 The Marlins were already bad. Jeter actually tried to make them more like The Yankees. But the Marlins didn't like caring about Winning. No wonder Jeter left
Love the clips of Tiger stadium… legendary ball park
Jeter scored nineteen thousand twenty three runs? That's gotta be a record
Rickey scored 2200 or so, Babe and Aaron are tied at 2191 iirc

Fire vid keep up the grid
I've often wondered how good of a rivalry would it have been if the Mariners spent the same amount of money as Steinbrenner. How awesome would it have been to see every playoff with A-Rod, Junior, the Unit, Edgar & Tino Martinez and fill in the gaps with money to challenge who would play the NL in the World Series?
It wasn't the players. Joe Torre with wisdom from bench coach Don Zimmer outmatched Mariners manager Lou Piniella. Remember the Mariners also had Randy's Johnson for 1996 and 1997. Griffey and Edgar Martinez are also Hofstadter. Torre even outmatched Braves manager Bobby Cox.
I vividly remember watchthing the little league World Series when Arod was on the Yankees, I remember more than once where the kids say their favorite player, every kid on the team would say Arod. Every single one lol
TBT, none of them have a clue. They got a camera shoved in their face and asked question they have no answer for. Just like an entire Latino team saying their favorite player is Jerickson Profar... He so happens to be relevant the year. Sure...😅
Yeah I also you should say it was a rod and Pedro Martinez
Your videos are great
If you agree that Jeter's GGs are undeserved, you can't really say "but still" which gives them some sort of weight in explaining his greatness. He is a legend without a doubt, but simply put he's average at best defensively and 5 GGs completely mislead some into thinking otherwise.
Did not realize jeter had over 19,000 runs. Got to be a record. That will never get broken
During the ALLSTAR game there was an interaction with Jeter and A-Rod that was hilarious. The announcer said something about Jeter's stats in Mariners stadium and he answered. Then he was asked about A-Rod's stats. He looked at A-Rod and nodded but didn't answer the question. The tension was heavy and it was hilarious to see.
I had to pause to comment on that A-Rod quote about how "you don't worry about Jeter beating you" in that Yankee lineup. As a lifetime Red Sox fan, he was THE guy I didn't want to see at the plate in a clutch situation. He'd constantly put the nail in the coffin, yet he was one of those Yankee players that you couldn't help but appreciate as a player and leader. Tldr-terrible hot take from A-Rod
Also a Sahk fan, when A-Hole was at the plate I felt safe But that *thing* …it scared me
@@warlordofbritannia HA! Well put my guy!
Or that bit about how Jeter has "never had to lead." Even if you think that part was true it wasn't like A-Rod was leading anybody.
you're obviously a kid, (despite your username) ... Jeter was a cog in a powerful machine. The Dynasty Yankees were a threat 1-9, and O'Neill, Bernie, and Tino were scarier at the plate than Jeter -- who was a table setter, first and foremost.
@@joeinreallife6293 yup, that's what made him dangerous there was the heart of the lineup after him, but he always seemed to come thru when it mattered. Obviously I'm a child talking about a Yankee lineup from 25 years ago...for someone that comes off so condescending, you don't even really seem to disagree. But thanks for pointing out that the championship Yankees had more than 1 threat in their lineup.
You need A LOT of credit for the way you put together these videos, I can't even imagine how much research you must have done for this one video!
Yeah, video about a rivalry about how two people that hate each other and yet they could be seen together on TV together on Fox broadcasts several times in the last few weeks. Cut the shit this is just fucking drama bullshit for the sake of drama bullshit. That’s all this video is.
When dudes take the time to compile clips, edit, research and all the other effort for videos like these the least Ican do is comment and like
It wouldn't be New York without the unnecessary drama that the WHOLE country has to know about.
A-Rod living in Calgary Alberta blows my mind
Side Note: Can you imagine the middle infield combo of Jeter (2B) and A-Rod (SS)?
Definitely would have made them better since Jeter’s defense at SS was very subpar
what about Cano?
@@thenotoriousfinesser2907 Third baseman since he had good arm (Unless I am mistaken).
I keep hearing about how CC Sabathia cleaned up the clubhouse morale when he got to New York. Could you please do a video on his career and the Yankees?
ARod should have played short and they should have moved Jeter to 3rd. Dude was a terrible SS.
Bro the glazing on Jeter is crazy in this episode 💀💀
Okay, I thought I was the only one who noticed this.
Too many People are on his nuts, the guy was a good part of a great situation , and when most of those guys retired or left the Yankees they didn't win for almost a decade, and when they won it was only a 1 off.
Dude didn't even mention how Jeter refused to let Arod play shortstop even though dude was better by a significant margin
@@JawaPenguin16 fr
Jeter is boring. A-Rod might be a sociopath. His tv commentary style is like someone who read a book on human behavior and tries to emulate it.
Who was a more valuable player to have on your team - prime A-Rod or prime Jeter?
A-Rod. Jeter is overrated
Facts
@@burtsy. I kinda figured so. Is it safe to say that Jeter’s likability led to a higher perception of his skill?
For sure! A rod is undoubtedly the better player stats wise, but his status as a clubhouse cancer definitely marred his legacy
@@madethecut Got it, makes sense thanks!
I remember a Roid last at bat! It was before the angels series and a guy by the name of Aaron judge and Gary sandez took his spot int the lineup. I was at angles field trying to catch 700 in right field
So 2 people took his spot? Who’s Gary Sandez? Also Arod finished with 696 HR, were you hoping to watch him hit 4 homers that night to catch 700? You suck
This is a really good video But when A-Rod had his last at bat every person was up cheering him on (it’s on KZhead)
Even doe I wasn't a Yankee fan back then but Jeter and Alex one of my favorites
I’m a 30 year old Yankees fan so I remember this well
Speilberg did not make the Natural. Give Barry Levison some respect.
Not gonna lie, I've always felt like there's something unsettling about Jeter. I feel like his class-act schtick is pretty thinly veiled. Something tells me that just below the surface is a spiteful and rude a-hole.
Lmao you said 19023 runs I was like whattttttt but I realized you read it wrong. Great content tho I love it
It says a lot that as a teenager I loved A Rod and hated Jeter in the 90’s and as an adult I have flipped that around. Once you have the full body of work, you can make a more honest comparison.
Video on steve bartman? :)
ARod is really good on TV. I’m glad he’s matured
Worst Shortstop in MLB history but great hitter. Good shortstop from his days in Seattle and Texas, way better hitter RBI and home run machine. This was doomed from the start and Yankees are still paying reparations to this day. Jeter was the handpicked "captain" of the team but he was never a Tom Brady or Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan. He was just the face of a marketing campaign that was beloved by the fanbase. A Rod was the better player. The Yankees rolled out the red carpet for a better player and then demoted A Rod to Third Base just to satisfy Jeter. It was doomed from start. Yankees have reverted back to pre-Babe Ruth era under Hank and Cashman still making these bad decisions to ths day.
At time index 1:01 he says Jeter scored 19 023 runs (as opposed to 1923 runs) ( I love this video btw .. just that one slip-up made me laugh)
Can’t wait for this one. I don’t know of a more polariIng player on the field than Derek Jeter. Is he the best shortstop of all time, or the absolute worst? A-Rod had two HOF careers, but has been ‘roiding since he was 18 & is unquestionably a terrible human being off the field. Should be a goodie.
Couldn’t wait for this one*
It is unfortunate that the Boston trade didn’t workout first and that the Yankees were the backup. It would have been way better to see him play short on that team.
Jeter was endowed with midwestern values? As far as I always knew, he was endowed with a swinging python of hate that was usually buried in some supermodel.
19,000 runs!! Woahhh
you did a amazing job, you should've added that on aroid's last game it rained on him and his mom and stopped as soon as they got off the field 😁☺
Never knew this at all.
I never knew about Hal Newhouser pushed the Houston Astros to draft Jeter so hard. I’m glad they didn’t, they rarely called-up their prospects until they were in their almost-mid 20’s. Thankfully, the 2015+ changed that with players like Carlos Correa (20 yrs old) & Lance McCullers (21 yrs old)
Almost mid-20s is normal development. And it’s a fast track if they’re drafted out of college cuz they’re 21-22 right then.
All sorts of errors in this one. A rare miss that lowered your WAR
Didn't know this was a thing
A-Rod ad J-Lo have been broken up for some time im pretty sure she married affleck.
I thought this was a children’s show and there’s play boy photos in here I’m calling the police
they are friends now and follow each other on social media
They look like they could be brothers...
Did you write this? You are in love with Jeter man. I never seen a more one sided piece about these 2 and everyone hates ARod.
When A-Rod was going, Jeter couldnt compare. A-Rod was a man you feared pitching to. Would love to see baseball take back the HOF from these stupid writers that vote.
19 thousand 23 runs? DAMN much larger than one thousand nine hundred twenty three runs. Should be named the GOAT of runs.
WAR is easily the worst way to find out the stats
I see and understand why there was a rivalry, and I actually do believe that they have reconciled. It may not be perfect, but they are both older men now who have probably grown up and realized that their drama or hatred was petty in nature.
He really said 19017 runs but put 1923 on the screen... 🤦
A real captain would have moved to second base and let the better shortstop play that position, but that’s none of my business.
Alex Was Introduced To Dr. Bosch Before 2010.
1:01 19 THOUSAND RUNS!!!???
As a Braves fan I respect Jetter he was a class act. Aroid is a different story
Alex was better
Great player, and I thought he was great, still. I had the fortune or misfortune of staying at a number of hotels teams stayed at when on the road. My company put me up there. The one player the staff singled out as a dick, and they all seemed to dislike; Yep it was Jeter. Alex may be a twit, but never a mention by hotel staff as being an arrogant pain to deal with.
Look at Jeter's post play legacy. Jeter has shown that when he was a player he seemed like a class act, but in a management he is a total ass.
@@doncheechako8084 I could always tell that by looking at his face. Spoiled yankee
"Nineteen thousand runs"? No.
1:02 Jeter scored 19,thousand runs??🤯🤯
If A-Rod was a good friend this is never a rivalry legitimately. A rod not being able to keep his real feelings to himself or to not fake a friendship with someone he believed he was better than
I'm just going to say this.....A rod knows he's a prick, Jeter doesn't 😅
I completely forgot how annoying jeters last season was with the endless last blah blah jeter will do the media talked up
THE CAPTAIN BABY YEAH JEETS THE CAPTAIN IT'S JUST DIFFERENT IN NEW YORK BABY 5 RINGZZZ THE CAPTAIN MIKE TROUT DOESN'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS
Ousted from the Marlins for being toxic, stole Frank Thomas's spot on Fox, screw him
Sb nation pointed this out.
Jeter is overrated af Also it’s cool that ARod played in Calgary for a bit
At least they had some sort of desire to win, a drive to win a championship, way better than the Boone caricature ridden team
12:00 bro rlly just dropped a clean ball
If you actually think they really have beef you’ve never played a team sport
Seems like you re-uploaded the video. Wonder who jlo is married too?
Nineteen thousand runs?!!!
ARod, when he was with the Yankees, wouldn't shut up when talking to the media. However Yankees management wanted Jeter to come to his rescue all the time. Jeter knew how to talk to the media and didn't want to get involved with ARod's mess. It must not have been fun being Jeter, and having ARod as a teammate.
Jeter scored over 19,000 runs? Wow, he was better than I thought.....
At 15 minutes that was ARods ball.
Undeserved? Nah. He declined defensively over time but its disrespectful to diminish him.
19,023 runs scored...that's a record I guarantee will NEVER be broken...lol. I'm obviously being a smart a*s...pay no attention to me. If there is a take-a-way to be gleaned from my comment, let it be this: your videos are well done...no question...and I'm certainly appreciative of the time and effort taken to provide such material.
As a long time Mets fan I can say this about your video: I loved Derek Jeter, how he played (sure he made a lot of errors, but was so clutch), how he conducted himself and how he was a great teammate. As for Alex Rodrigues, even before all of his doping I really did not like him. He seemed so fake and egotistical. Kind of like….Barry Bonds. And when they both started looking like bodybuilders and everyone knew what they were doing, well that was it for me. Lost all respect for Alex and of course Bonds. Can add McGuire and Sosa to that list also.
I think for me it was that ALCS against the Red Sox. That BS where he tried to slap the ball out of the guys glove and acting shocked when he got caught plus the way he could be seen pouting in the dugout just made him look like a diva to me
@@bigbearkat2010 very good point. That was terrible for sure.
A good teammate would've taken one for the team, swallowed his pride and gave shortstop to the better player lol
@@kevinbrezinski2544 or maybe the better fielder would be able to adapt better in a new position.
@@bigbearkat2010well he did. Still shoulda played SS
A rod is 10x better than jeter
I love how Arod basically redeemed himself and Jeter left the past in the past. Of course they won't ignore it happened but they're being professions now.
19,000 runs.. what
0:42 um…he was born in jersey 😂
Jeter is only a slightly better player than Craig Biggio
how did a rod perform in playoffs? Crickets.
Jeter is my all time favorite baseball player! But I have 2 admit I'm like the new arod...
A-Rod’s average season with the Yankees from 2004-2010 (7 seasons) .300 BA 40 HR 120 RBI 110 Runs .952 OPS The only other Yankees in team history to ever achieve those numbers over 7 consecutive seasons were Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle. Yankee Fans: This A-Rod guy sucked as a Yankee 😂…. He won MVP in 05 & 07. By the way, without A-ROD the Yankee Championship drought would currently stand at 23 years. Yankee fans are pathetic. On a separate note, isn’t it interesting how David Ortiz had his first good season of his career at 27 years old, in his 7th season, and he magically gets a pass on the Steroid bullshit? 🤔
Don’t forget all the PEDs he was loaded on!
@@warlordofbritanniaYou mean like probably 90% of the league in that era? Come on. Put A-Rod, Bonds, and Clemens in the Hall already. It’s ridiculous. All time greats, every one of them.
@@timetowakeup6302 “90 percent of the league at that time” [citation needed] Anyways, yeah I think Bonds et all should be in the Hall of Fame. But cmon man, you can’t post what you did above and not address the 800 pound gorilla in the room 😂
PEDs or not, those are monster numbers (I actually didn't realize they were that good) plus most of the other guys that juiced during that Era had stats more along the lines of 40 HR and say a .240 average
@@uberboomer8670what PED users had 40 home runs and a .240 average? Those are like Adam Dunn numbers. That makes no sense at all.

Puberty adds weight and add that with lifting it can be an easy reason why arod gained so much. Arod however cheated heavy. War doesn't count

A-Rod was the better player , the media favored Jeter… that’s the truth
But the media picked A Rod as the AL MVP
