Jeter's DP in game 4 was the pivotal play in the game, yet it is barely part of the highlights, whereas AROD's strikeout with no one on and 2 outs is glorified..... It is going to happen where AROD carries a team in the playoffs and wins ring in the process... only he will do it more than 10 years after Jeter won his last ring.... I don't think anyone disagrees with the comparative postseason numbers of Jeter and AROD, but the fact that Jeter has won 4 rings, and make no mistake, he was a huge part of all of those teams, gives him a clear and deserving leg up in the comparison. I submit that will change in the future once AROD wins a ring on another team, but for now, it is what it is ESPN definately did this on purpose.
