Many people don't hate the person Derek Jeter but more of the jersey he wears. He is a well-rounded guy, he never talks highly about himself, he never throws teammates under the bus to the media, and he's just an all around nice guy. One of his signature things is talking to fans on the on deck circle. Not many if any players would do that. People like to say he's cocky, but thats just not true, the guy has talent but you didnt see him trying to endorse himself to the mvp voters like Ortiz was. When he didn't win it he didn't say anything negative at Morneau but congratulated him. Most people hate Jeter just cause he's a Yankee and dates many good looking models or actresses. If anyone of those Jeter haters were in his position would you not date those women?

Of course not - gotta respect the man and what he has accomplished. To be one of the all time greats on a team with all the history of the Yankees - how can you hate him. I get tired of some Yankee fans treating him like some kind of deity, but that is not Jeter's fault - it's those idiots who can't accept that he is human and heaven forbid, might actually strike out or make an occasional error.

Well, I would say that most teams can't say that they have as great a shortstop as Jeter. He plays very well as a SS. He makes unbelievable plays. For example, in the 2001 A.L.D.S. against the Oakland A's when he came from out of nowhere to throw Jeremy Giambi (Jason Giambi's brother) out at home. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. You can't teach that kind of play to anyone. You need pure, athletic talent for that kind of play. That is just one of many great plays he has made while in pinstripes. He is also a great hitter as well. He may even become the first Yankee player to have 3000 or more hits in his career. He is also the only Yankee to win the All-Star Game MVP. It is also worth noting that Derek Jeter is also the Yankees all time leader in singles. Most of the hatred comes from Red Sox fans and Mets fans. In other words, they are just jealous. So, that is what I think.

This probably started years ago when Garciaparra was having his great years as was Alex Rodriquez. They hit the home runs and Jeter didn't. But who got the series rings.....Jeter. It all boils down to jealousy. Jeter is a winner giving 100 per cent every time out. Yankee fans have something to be proud of. He is a throw back player to the fans who appreciated players like Mays, Aaron, Berra, Campanella, Banks, etc. I'm not a 100 per cent Yankee fan either but I recognize talent.

Because he's good and he's a Yankee, it's sad, he's a terrific player, I'm a Sox fan but I enjoy watching Jeter play, he's a future Hall of Famer.

Any Mariners fan hates Jeter because he used to play for the Mariners but sold himself to another team, and again to the Yankees.

I don't know why any one would hate him , but Boston Red Sox FANS hate all Yankees! Do you really think he is still a great player? Maybe his best days are gone?
