Jeter was clutch in the post season, but it feels like the documentary is trying to make Jeter as THE reason for the Yankees success. One singular baseball player does not have that much influence on a team over a 162 game season. If you replace Jeter in 1995 with one of his all-star contemporaries from the 90s like Nomar or Barry Larkin, does anyone believe the Yankees would have won any less? Not even going to mention A-Rod here as I think that is a given.

He all but came out and blamed the 2004 loss to the Sox on Arod

“Some of our new players weren’t used to winning in the postseason. They didn’t know how to win”

Jeter hit .200 in the series with a .500 OPS

Arod actually had a solid series

I alsways thought Jeter was extrmely humble and grounded. This show hs proven me that isn’t true. He is just quiet. But he is a huge narcissist and extrmely insecure. His jealousy of Arod is palpable through the screen. Arod actually comes off as very self aware in the show
