Christopher Russo: Tony Gwynn was better than Derek Jeter

I had on Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo this week on the Talking Friars podcast and one of my questions to him was about whether he thinks, like I do, that San Diego Padres legend Tony Gwynn is better than New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter after ESPN said the opposite.

“If you ask me right field Gwynn [versus] shortstop Jeter, I’d take Gwynn,” Russo said. “I agree with you being a big Padres fan Gwynn is better than Jeter..”

There shouldn’t even really be a debate about who is better when you look at the stats but since ESPN didn’t agree with Russo and I about this, I have to talk about it.
