The sad thing is that if Arod didn’t decide to go all “bonds” on is, I am sure he still would have had a HOF career and would have been the best at his position for many of those years. But since he did cheat, you have to take him out of the equation. So, who does that leave with being ahead of Jeter for great individual years? Nomar? Without Arod and Nomar, Jeter May have had quite a few years at the top for individual years. And the only thing that ever held him from that distinction was power.
The guy played 20 years and his 162 game ave was almost 120 runs scored and 204 hits. And consistent for just about every year. These “never the best” arguments are as dumb as they get. Sorry
