Likely due to the lack of action this offseason, Yankees Twitter has been flooded with the debate this past week over who the better player/Yankee was, Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez. As we know, the two were teammates from ’04-’14 and played side by side in the infield in those years. The two ex-teammates have entirely different reputations within the organization. A-Rod’s steroid usage put a blemish on his Yankees and MLB legacy.
Once called up, Jeter made an immediate impact on the team. He helped lead the Yankees to six World Series, and won the World Series MVP in 2000.
