The Jeter post-season hype is all made up by the NY Media and Yankee spin machine. The wanted a face to the Yankees and they made it him. His post-season stats are nothing special. The fact is that the teams that won all their championships won it with pitching. Whenever they say it is the intangibles that make him great, they are saying "we know we made up this hero, and his stats are pretty good, but everyone knows he is hype by the media"


Take Jeter off the team and they would have still won all those championships. Take Rivera off the team and they might have 1 if they are lucky.

Guys like Bernie Williams, and all the role players have done much more for the Yankees than Jeter.
