Why Does Everyone Think Derek Jeter Was A Great Captain Whenever I tell a New York Yankees fan that my new book, The Captain Class, is a profile of the greatest team leaders in sports history, they inevitably say some variation of the same thing. Oh, so theres probably a whole chapter on Derek Jeter. Lets get one thing out of the way. Derek Jeter was not one of the greatest captains in sports history. To be blunt, he doesnt even belong in the conversation. This isnt some scorching take I scribbled down on a bar napkin four rounds in. To come up with an objective list of the most effective captains in sports history, I first set out to identify the most dominant teams of all time. This step, alone, took years. But at no point during my research did I find even a shred of evidence that the Yankees, during Jeters 1. Jeter was not the only celebrated captain who didnt make the final cut. Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Roy Keane, and several other boldfaced names were conspicuously absent, too. At least those guys came close. Derek Jeter didnt.

His sublime swing would help him amass 3,4. No. 6 on the all time list. Not only that, he was a tall, handsome bachelor who dated singers and starlets, hosted Saturday Night Live and owned an enviable portfolio of endorsement deals. What many people forget, however, is that Jeter did not become captain until after the teams dominant run from 1. World Series four times in six seasons and came within two outs of adding a fifth. He took over the team after several clubhouse stalwarts, including Paul ONeill, retired or left to play elsewhere. Before retiring in 2. Jeter led had compiled a regular season record of 1. Thats good, for sure, but does it put him in the realm of the elite Heres the truly baffling thing about Jeter The Yankees only made it to the World Series twice under his stewardship, winning it once. The San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox, and St. Louis Cardinals each won at least two titles over that span, and four other teams matched the Yankees with one title. The best thing you can say about Jeter as captain is that his team ranked among the top 2. Theres another crucial piece of context to factor in, here toomoney. Its true that Jeters captaincy coincided with an aggressive new MLB luxury tax that forced the Yankees to surrender a chunk of their revenue to support the leagues poorer teams, but the Yankees still had more than enough left over to maintain a sizeable spending advantage. In fact, according to payroll figures over those 1. Yankees outspent the No. MLB team by more than 1 billion. All of that money, and Jeters supposedly brilliant leadership, produced the same trophy haul as the Florida Marlins. The elite captains I studied had seven common traits. They were rarely stars and were often decidedly average athletes see Barcelonas Carles Puyol. They could be surly Jack Lambert of the Pittsburgh Steelers is a good example and were rarely charismatic see Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs. Does It Offended You Yeah Rarity' title='Does It Offended You Yeah Rarity' />Most were support players who didnt score much and carried water for their teams Carla Overbeck of the U. S. womens national soccer team, for instance.

Bundesliga 2000 Der Fussball Manager Mac. Above all, they were maniacally focused on the teams goals to the exclusion of everything else see Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics. Derek Jeter had some of these qualities. He was certainly committed to playing hard. But he was not a humble support player who shunned the spotlight. Quick, name one time Jeter spoke out against management or the league, or tested the limits of the rules. Even when Alex Rodrigueza better shortstop by all responsible metricsjoined the Yankees in 2. Jeter never offered to surrender his position. In later years, when statistics showed that Jeters glaringly substandard defense No. Yankees runs, Jeter vowed to work on improving his rangebut again, he didnt budge. So why do people consider Jeter an exemplar of leadership In the late 1. Yankees franchise was estimated to be worth about 2. Once again, I can not believe the crap you post.

They became the greatest circus in American sports and Jeter was their green eyed ringmaster. During his farewell season, enemy teams presented him with gifts as their fans wildly applauded. As fervently as they might have reviled the Yankees, everyone revered Jeter. Even though the Yankees missed the playoffs in 2. Q score of any American athlete. President Obama invited him to play golf. Thats when it hit me. The veneration for Jeters leadership had nothing to do with how captains used to be judged. It wasnt so much a reflection of his teams achievements as a sign of what professional sports had becomean entertainment industry fed by television billions in which winning took a back seat to putting on a good show. Whenever I ask people why they think Derek Jeter was a great captain, theyll say its because he played the game the right way. In a sports era sullied by dopers, loudmouths, and narcissists, he was the ultimate rarityan acceptable role model. He even launched a charitable foundation to help kids avoid drugs and alcohol. What he lacked in championships as a captain, he made up for by selling tickets and t shirts and entertaining people. His presence was essential to his teams popularity and financial success. On Sunday, the Yankees officially retired Jeters No. The tone of the proceedings, and the slick tie ins his sponsors rolled out for the occasion, attested to what the Yankee captain has always been the quintessential company man. He has shown such fealty to the Steinbrenners, and such sincere respect for the great players who came before him, that when the Yankees closed down the old ballpark, they asked Jeter to give a speech. Reporters who covered him were amazed by his uncanny ability to avoid putting his foot in his mouth. In a city full of writers waiting to pounce, he never uttered something he regretted, wrote sportswriter Pete Abraham. Jeter, Abraham concluded, is every bit the professional and abidingly decent person you would like to think he is. Brian Cashman, the teams general manager, once said If you had a daughter, youd want her to marry Derek Jeter. It would be cynical to declare that Jeter represents the triumph of flash over substance. He was, in fact, a great baseball player and an admirable person. But the truth is that Jeter was the perfect Yankee captain for his era because the Yankees of his era were not the never quit Yankees of George Steinbrenner. They cared less about winning championships than building a commercial entertainment enterprise inside a giant luxury packed family fun dome. The fans, for whatever reason, were largely cool with that. They were content to drink Belgian beer and root for their celebrity shortstop. In case youre wondering, there was one Yankee team leader who made my list of the all time greats. It wasnt Ruth, Di. Maggio, Mantle, or Mattingly. It wasnt Lou Gehrig, eitherthis person wasnt even named captain during his career. It was a stumpy, mumbling little catcher named Yogi Berra.

Once upon a time, when I was still in junior high school, I aspired to be a doctor. Why  For all the wrong reasons. First, because my parents wanted me to be one, and second because it was a profession that made a lot of money. Fortunately, after doing some research in high school about whats required to be a doctor, I realized that being a doctor is not about the money, its about the passion for practicing medicine. It takes real commitment to be a physician. To become a specialist, it takes at least a decade of trainingeducation, long hours, low pay, and a large amount of loans for some to finally make it to the big leagues. Even once youve graduated, most specialties require long hours along with periodically being on call. Back to the topic at hand, doctor salaries. When most of you think about doctor salaries, most think that they are paid like rock stars. There are some numbers thrown around like some make 5.
