Here are two players who are actually very similar. Both are .300+ hitters who average about 15 home runs per year and have Gold Glove-quality fielding skills. Both have become fixtures of the All-Star Game, both having been selected 6 times in their first 10 seasons in the big leagues.
The biggest difference? Derek Jeter plays for the New York Freakin’ Yankees and is touted as a baseball Messiah, while Michael Young plays for the lowly Texas Rangers who have never made it into the playoffs in this decade.
