Derek Jeter vs Ken Griffey Jr

[kingofnyc]

bunch of co-workers were waxing poetics about jeter
jeter this
jeter that
crowning him as the face / poster boy of the anti-steriod era
(which essentially means the best player on & off the field repping MLB -NOT LINKED TO THE JUICE-)

I say nothing... as they continue & continue
finally asking me to interject... I say

that title goes to griffrey

as I hop,bop/head nod outter the lunch room -get called yankee/baseball hater

Jeter or Griffey ?

 

[Carlos Huerta]

you finally said something that wasn't stupid

 

[TKOK]

Are talking at their peak or during their whole career. cause at his peak Griffey>>>> but he was hurt a lot.

 

[nomoreneveragain]

Jeter was winning rings, when Sosa/McGuire were juicing. Griffey was in the DL.

 

[King Poetic]

Griffey and its not even close

Jeter has new York and griffey was in Seattle

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

This isn't even a debate.

Griffey was GOAT level in his prime. Jeter never was.

Are talking at their peak or during their whole career. cause at his peak Griffey>>>> but he was hurt a lot.

during the whole roid era -so Yeah ... basically their whole careers

 

[TKOK]

during the whole roid era -so Yeah ... basically their whole careers

ehhh that's harder, I'd take jeter because of how much Griffey was hurt.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Jeter won championships


Griffey....well he had a nice swing when he wasn't injured

 

[mastermind]

what kind of idiots do you work around? No one in their right mind would say "Jeter>Griffey."

 

[onelastdeath]

[the cac mamba]

jeter obv had the better career, while griffey was the better potential player

 

[kingofnyc]

what kind of idiots do you work around? No one in their right mind would say "Jeter>Griffey."

there adding all factors in this
It's not who the better player (we all know that) - it's who the poster boy or face

Jeter dose have the intangibles like no other

• caption of the number 1 franchise in its sport
• linked with a bunch of so-called hottest Hollywood celebs
• 5x world champs

even me Mr Yankee hater can't shyt on those accomplishment

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

from 1992-1999 Griffey was the greatest baseball player of all time..

and was one of the 3 most popular athletes in Sports in the 1990s. (Tyson, Jordan, Griffey)

he had lil nyggas believin he was runnin for President in 1996

 

[dem bath salts]

Griffey.

Jeter is great but Griffey was damn near transcendent if it wasnt for injuries.
Still the only dude I know who had nikkas who didnt watch baseball, staying up late night on the east coast just to catch the late night sportscenter to see his highlights
