And like I said I am so sure it won't happen in 20 I'd put money down know that bet lol
the sheep just want to believe lol, SDS only gonna add one of those box office names a year
Don't be surprised if we eventually see Bonds, DiMaggio, AROD or McGwire but them be the big guys they show off and make you pay money to get due to the fandom around them and their legacies (enter steroid complaining even tho guys were using greenies and other drugs forever before the 2000s)

Checkout Diamond stadiums.
I made over 490K flipping stadiums this year (at an average of 237 per). But I stopped about a month or so ago when they started hiding them in Conquest maps and took them down to quicksell levels.
(Jeter) was the Michael Jordan of baseball
Er... no.
Jeter was the Manu Ginobli of baseball. On a lot of great teams, won a lot of rings, and a fine player in his own right. But anyone attempting to confer GOAT status would rightfully need their head examined.
I'm referring to his popularity, he sold tickets. Jordan was on top of the NBA world and Jeter on top of Baseball

If GOAT is defined by hits and hrs it wouldn't be Bonds and Rose,
It would be Aaron( which he arguably could be) when he retired Aaron had the most HR and one of only 2 to have more than 700, he also had 3800+ hits which was 2nd all time. -

Was he, though?
Can't seem to get my hands on historical All-Star balloting numbers at the moment (the best "comp" for player popularity). Maybe somebody with better Google-fu can help.
Anyway, while they were both still SS, ARod started the ASG over Jeter 4-1 (with Ripken and Nomar taking 1 year each). It's not until after ARod is forced out of position that he goes on a 7 out of 9 year starting run.
I don't see any evidence that Jeter is "the most popular MLB player of his era". And CERTAINLY not to the unquestioned extent of Jordan's importance to the NBA.
-
He was never the best player in the league imo but having said that you still cannot deny Derek Jeter as being the face of baseball for the majority of his career. I not only think he was the most popular baseball player during his era, but also possibly all time with the exception of Babe Ruth.
