He is a no-doubt first ballot Hall of Famer. His credentials include five World Series championships, a .312 career batting average, selected as an All-Star every from 1998 to 2011 except for 2005 (a year in which he batted .309, had 202 hits, and 19 homers), and his recent inclusion into the 3,000 hits club. He has been the captain of the New York Yankees storied franchise for years and years and is considered by many to be the best all-around player - on and off the field - in all of Major League Baseball. He was given a one of the last Yankee single-digit numbers for his jersey because George Steinbrenner had an inkling that it might just get retired. Jeter is already a baseball legend and he has, at least, a few more productive years in his legs and bat.
