Garcia -
I take serious offense to your comment.
As to the Jeter vote - if the poll that was taken was mostly 20 -30 year olds, then I can see why Jeter took a majority of the votes. That is the world we live in today.

According to the NY Post, the empire state residents have voted Derek Jeter as the greatest athlete in New York history. (over Mantle, Ruth, Joe D, Namath, The Duke, et al). This would appear to make him the greatest athlete of all time, would it not?

Wait twenty years and take the poll again. Jeter's riding a wave of popularity since he is currently playing. He been a real good ballplayer, but there is no way he's better than Ruth, or Mantle.

Garcia - I have never seen you make such comments and am somewhat surprised by it. You want to bust on Yankee fans, go for it. But do not even think about questioning the intelligence of NYer's in general. It just makes you look ridiculous.

Jeter was born in NJ... grew up in Michigan. I think this disqualifies him as the greatest NY athelete of all time.
But seriously... People tend to live in the "what have you done for me lately" state of mind. Jeter over Ruth, Gehrig or Mantle as greatest Yankee of all time is a joke. He's not even the greatest Yankee on his present team... that accolade goes to Mo Rivera.

well the first thing that's wrong with your post is that it came from the NY Post which just about every intelligent new yorker uses to line the bottom of their bird cages. also, the empire state residents that voted are between the ages of 8 - 16.
sorry to say but jetes has one helluva long line in front of him in that respect.

Gee, I wonder if GreatestNYY voted in that poll. He seems like part of the core demographic.

In Response to Re: It's official; Jeter best of all time : you have my sympathies. btw, new york isn't any dumber than the rest of the country. funny, when i said NY, you and jessey just assumed i was speaking of the city. the sheer arrogance. no, i was referring to the whole state. i live in upstate NY, which is loaded with yankee fans. they hate me and i hate them. however, i did convert a female yankee fan into a SOX fan. i had her watch FEVER PITCH and fed her a lot of wine; also, gave her one of my unworn SOX caps. in other words, i'm making the world a better place. one person at a time.
