Derek Jeter

Derek Sanderson Jeter ( JEE-tər; born June 26, 1974) is an American former professional baseball shortstop, businessman, and baseball executive. He has been the chief executive officer (CEO) and part owner of the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB) since September 2017.
As a shortstop, Jeter spent his entire 20-year MLB playing career with the New York Yankees. A five-time World Series champion, Jeter is regarded as one of the primary contributors to the Yankees' success of the late 1990s and early 2000s for his hitting, baserunning, fielding, and leadership. He is the Yankees' all-time career leader in hits (3,465), doubles (544), games played (2,747), stolen bases (358), times on base (4,716), plate appearances (12,602) and at bats (11,195). His accolades include 14 All-Star selections, five Gold Glove Awards, five Silver Slugger Awards, two Hank Aaron Awards, and a Roberto Clemente Award. Jeter was the 28th player to reach 3,000 hits and finished his career ranked sixth in MLB history in career hits and first among shortstops. In 2017, the Yankees retired his uniform number 2.
The Yankees drafted Jeter out of high school in 1992, and he debuted in the major leagues at age 21 in 1995. The following year, he became the Yankees' starting shortstop, won the Rookie of the Year Award, and helped push the team to win the 1996 World Series. Jeter continued to play during the team's championship seasons of 1998–2000; he finished third in voting for the American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award in 1998, recorded multiple career-high numbers in 1999, and won both the All-Star Game MVP and World Series MVP Awards in 2000. He consistently placed among the AL leaders in hits and runs scored for most of his career, and served as the Yankees' team captain from 2003 until his retirement in 2014. Throughout his career, Jeter contributed reliably to the Yankees' franchise successes. He holds many postseason records, and has a .321 batting average in the World Series. Jeter has earned the nicknames "Captain Clutch" and "Mr. November" due to his outstanding play in the postseason.
Jeter was one of the most heavily marketed athletes of his generation and is involved in numerous product endorsements. As a celebrity, his personal life and relationships with other celebrities has drawn the attention of the media.

Which celebrity would you actually vote for if they ran for President of the United States? If you can remember all the way back to Kanye West’s speech at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, you may remember that he closed by saying that he’ll be running for president in 2020. If he actually runs, it’s going to be highly entertaining (just think of the debates). But he shouldn’t be the only celebrity who takes a shot at becoming the most important person in the world. After Oprah's powerful Golden Globes speech in 2018, in which she slammed the mistreatment of women in the film industry, there has been a lot of buzz&nbsp;online of her launching a 2020 run as well. There are plenty of other actors, rappers, and just plain <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/famous-people-with-schizophrenia/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">famous people</a> who could probably handle having their finger on the button. From Kim Kardashian to Stephen Colbert, and even Charlie Sheen, here’s a definitive list of other celebrities who should run for President of the United States.If you think about it, being President of the United States isn’t all that different from being a regular celebrity. People with no knowledge of what you really do are constantly criticizing you, you spend most of your time on a private airplane, and you have a giant posse. If you’re <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/famous-people-who-were-bullied/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">a famous person</a> (FP for short), you might as well run for president every four years. Worst case scenario, you actually win and have to figure out which member of your inner circle is going to be your chief of staff. Which celebs do you think make great presidential candidates?Upvote the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-you-dont-want-to-see-get-older/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">celebrities you</a> think should run for President of the United States.

The best hitters in baseball history are those who hold the all-time hitting records in Major League Baseball, change the game as we know it, and are amongst the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest baseball players of all time</a>. These sluggers dominated during their respective eras and captivated audiences at the same time. If you were to pick a top hitter for your all-time top baseball fantasy team, you'd be silly not to select these best baseball hitters as soon as possible.Pete Rose, Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron and Stan Musial all hold the top spots among the MLB all time hits, with Rose leading the pack at 4,256 over his career. Rose finished his career in 1986 and his record has withstood&nbsp;the time since.But the best hitters cannot be defined by the number of career hits alone. On that stat,&nbsp;Babe Ruth, arguably the best baseball hitter of all time, would rank in the 40s. Ruth&nbsp;holds top numbers for his home runs, slugging percentage, runs batted in and on-base&nbsp;percentage&nbsp;stats. Lou Gehrig is another who'd fall into that category with his major league records for the most grand slams -&nbsp;a figure since topped by a great modern slugger, Alex Rodriguez.So we're left with a conundrum. Do we deem those great players from yesteryear, like Willie Mays, Ted Williams and Shoeless Joe Jackson&nbsp;the best baseball hitters of all time? Do we give some love to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-baseball-players/alecdom" target="_blank">current top baseball players</a>&nbsp;like Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols and Derek Jeter? Tell us how you feel by voting for the best hitters in baseball history below!

The best baseball players not in the hall of fame are here on this list, though the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/2020-baseball-hall-of-fame-ballot/ranker-baseball" target="_blank">2020 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot</a> has&nbsp;room for some of these stars.&nbsp;In order to be considered as slighted by the baseball hall of fame, a player must be non-active and have had the ability to appear on the hall of fame ballot at least once. Some of these men are considered to be among the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time">greatest baseball players of all time</a>, yet remain off of the &quot;official&quot; list of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-50-current-best-baseball-players?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best MLB players</a> ever at the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown.

What keeps a player out of the baseball hall of fame? Some of these players- like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire- have been involved in PED (performance enhancing drug) scandals, others broke the cardinal rule of not betting on the sport (Pete Rose), and still others were involved in a baseball player scandal, like Shoeless Joe Jackson who is said to have contributed to his team throwing the World Series. Some of the best baseball players are simply not on the list because they haven&#39;t yet acquired the 75% vote necessary for induction.

Who should be in the baseball hall of fame? What top baseball players are not in the hall of fame? Who are the best players not in the baseball hall of fame? These are the questions addressed here in the list of the greatest baseball players not in the hall of fame.

Comedy

The funniest professional athletes are the stars of the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL who don't just amaze fans with their athletic skills but also keep their fans and teammates laughing with their jokes, antics and other assorted hilarity. Should these pro athletes ever need a second job or a new career once their football, baseball, basketball or hockey days end, comedy or entertainment would be a great choice.For the most part, fans see what the athletes do on the field as they watch games in person or on television but on rare occasions we get a glimpse into how these beloved sports stars act in real life. Some athletes make that easy with their constant tweeting, like New England Patriots wide out Chad Ochocinco, the NHL's best fourth-liner Paul Bissonnette and retired NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. These guys aren't just some of the most followed and most active athletes on Twitter but also easily the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/funniest-athlete-tweets/sportsyeah" target="_blank">funniest athletes on Twitter</a>.Going beyond social media, other athletes let fans into their lighter side with special appearances and other online fan interactions. Baller Steve Nash, mullet-lover Jared Allen and all-star pitcher C.J. Wilson are all frequent stars of their own YouTube videos where they do all kinds of wacky things. MLB player Brian Wilson, whose beard alone could get a laugh, has also starred in hilarious videos, in between other antics like showing up to the ESPY Awards in a spandex tuxedo and filming funny commercials.Others have more of a subtle sense of humor that comes out in small doses during media appearances and locker room interviews. There is however a trend for impersonations, just as Dwight Howard, who can do a mean impersonation of coach Stan Van Gundy, or Pittsburgh Steeler Crezdon Butler who can do a hilarious impersonation of coach Mike Tomlin. However these athletes are funny, they show us a softer, more human side of our favorite sports stars. Since we can't get all of our <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/athletes-who-should-get-a-reality-show/the-round-mound " target="_blank">favorites athletes to share their lives with reality shows</a>, these brief looks into their lives, whether it's scripted comedy or just them being their funny selves, will have to do.

Male celebrities as role models... what are we looking for? Maybe someone who knows how to lead, be a good team member, or handle themselves in high stress situations. Celebrity role models for boys are not as hard to come by as you might think. Sure, there are your tiger blood guzzling crazy types, or butt-pinching Broadway theatre goers. There’s plenty of bad behavior once one achieves fame and fortune. Still, there’s always time for a second chance. Lest we forget, Robert Downey Jr. used to be a hot mess and even went to prison. Now? He’s one of the more solid celebrity role models for boys because his story shows redemption and hope. There’s the nice guy (Chris Pratt), the stand-up guy (Nick Offerman), and celebrities as role models so cool you want to hang out with them all the time guy, like Dave Grohl and Keanu Reeves. There are the obvious old timers like John Goodman and Jeff Bridges. There’s the nice playboy (George Clooney). And then there’s the king of the actor role models, everyman Bill Murray. Sure, everyone has feet of clay and no one on this list of celebrity role models is perfect. They are, however, artist and actor role models who have managed to not completely set their lives on fire, or if they have, have weathered the storm and have insight to share.

The MLB&nbsp;measures straight-line speed with modern day analytics, as well as quickness, lateral agility, and many other athletic traits.

Typically, the fastest MLB&nbsp;players are center-fielders&nbsp;such as Kenny Lofton, Billy Hamilton,&nbsp;and Mike Trout, since they are often the smallest and have to cover the most ground, although certain anomalies like Alex Rodriguez&nbsp;and Wil Myers find themselves among the fastest MLB players despite being bigger and stronger.Go ahead and rank the fastest MLB players of all time, and when you're done, head on over to rank the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fastest-nba-players-of-all-time/ranker-sports" target="_blank">fastest NBA&nbsp;players of all time</a>.&nbsp;

The athletes with the most annoying fans are sports stars we love to hate and the fans who love to love them. These fans of the top MLB, NHL, NBA and NFL players hold their favorite athletes as ultimate legends, regardless if they are worthy of the status or not. These sports fans are passionate and loud but more than anything, they are annoying and rarely shut up about how awesome their favorite athlete is.It shouldn't be any surprise that the athletes that are the most annoying to begin with attract the most annoying fans. For some athletes, fans hold them in such high regard that no matter what the athlete does, the fans will continue to treat them as royalty. Diehard fans of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-pittsburgh-steelers-quarterbacks/ranker-nfl?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger</a> or <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-philadelphia-eagles-quarterbacks/ranker-nfl?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Philadelphia Eagles quarterback</a> Michael Vick barely batted an eye when the National Football League stars found themselves in legal trouble, while outsiders found both the football players and their fans nothing but annoying.In other cases, the players are seen as the greatest gifts to their respective sports and their annoying fans will never let you forget that. Those who worship the likes of quarterback Tim Tebow, NHL player Sidney Crosby and Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant will all argue that these players are the greatest of all time, even if that's obviously not the truth. Whether these sports fans are unapologetically supportive of their troublesome athletes, cannot shut their yappers about how great their favorite athlete is or anywhere in between, all of these athletes' fans are stubborn and beyond annoying. They may not be as bad as the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/baseball-teams-with-the-most-annoying-fans/the-round-mound">most annoying baseball team fans</a> or the basketball teams with the most annoying fans but that certainly doesn't make them any less tolerable.

The worst team owners of all time are the rich and powerful men and women who were the most hated by fans, the least successful or even the most scandalous of their time. These football, basketball, hockey and baseball team owners are some of the worst ever, so much so that decades after these entrepreneurs have left these teams, fans still talk of the damage that these awful owners did.Many of these owners were involved with professional sports teams for several years but unfortunately many of these years were some of the worst ever for the teams. In more than 20 years owning <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-cincinnati-bengals-of-all-time/ranker-nfl?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Cincinnati Bengals</a> in the NFL, Mike Brown's team only reached the playoffs twice. Michael Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats tallied the worst record in the history of the NBA in the shortened 2011-12 season, winning just seven games and putting him up for the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/worst-nba-executives-of-all-time/sportsyeah" target="_blank">worst NBA executive of all time</a> award.But it's not just having a losing team that makes an owner one of the worst ever. Some owners were notorious about treating people badly or making unpopular decisions. Arnold Johnson, who moved the MLB Athletics franchise from Philadelphia to Kansas City, sold all of his good players out of greed. Marge Schott, owner of the Cincinnati Reds from 1984 to 1999, famously once said "Hitler wasn't so bad." No one will ever forgive Harry Frazee, owner of the Boston Red Sox from 1916 to 1923, for selling Babe Ruth so he could finance more Broadway plays. If that isn't bad enough, some owners were straight up criminal in their actions. Harold Ballard, involved with the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1961 to 1990, was convicted on 47 charges including fraud, theft and tax evasion leading to a three-year stay in prison. Whether these terrible team owners just didn't have a clue and the franchise suffered because of it or if the owners were more scandalous, each of these team owners did something or another to earn them the distinction of being one of the worst team owners of all time.

UPDATE: Derek Jeter and Larry Walker were selected for the Hall of Fame.

The 2020 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot is out, and it&#39;s time once again to debate which MLB players deserve the ultimate honor in the game. After the 2019 Hall of Fame class featured Mariano Rivera as the first unanimous Hall of Fame selection, all bets are off for the new national Hall of Fame class.

There are a number of new players on the ballot, but the most popular (and almost certain to be voted in) has to be Yankees legend Derek Jeter. As a five-time World Series champion who spent his whole career in New York, Jeter has possibly the best chance of being the next unanimous Hall of Fame inductee. Also new to the ballot are Jason Giambi, Alfonso Soriano, and Cliff Lee, who all had fine careers, but the question is whether they had Hall of Fame careers.

Still on the ballot from previous years are Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Curt Schilling, who it could be argued deserve to be in the Hall of Fame based on their on-field accomplishments but have not been voted in for complicated off-field reasons. Players must receive 75 percent of votes to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and must receive at least 5 percent to stay on the ballot. If players are not inducted after 10 years on the ballot, they are removed.

So which of these players on the ballot for the Hall of Fame in 2020 deserve to be elected? Which of these MLB stars should be enshrined in Cooperstown with baseball&#39;s legends, like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Hank Aaron? Vote below and check back over the next couple of months as the announcement is made and we learn who will join the list of Baseball Hall of Fame members.

Athletes who should get a reality show are the popular athletes in the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB and other sports whose off-field lives are just as captivating as their athletic careers. When that perfect combination comes along, it's only right that these famous athletes give up what little privacy they have and allow fans to see inside their personal lives by starring on a reality television show. It's easy to pick the most successful and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-most-popular-athletes-/calistylie" target="_blank">popular professional athletes</a> to star on <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-reality-shows/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">reality television shows</a> as everyone wants to know how these Super Bowl, NBA Championship, World Series, Stanley Cup and Olympic gold medal winners live behind the scenes. Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, LeBron James of the Miami Heat, baseball star Derek Jeter, professional swimmer Michael Phelps and even all-time great boxer Mike Tyson are just a handful of names that fall into that category with each finding success in their own respective sport either recently or throughout a long career.For other athletes, they've been nominated to star on a reality show for their high-profile personal life or famous spouse. This is also sometimes prohibitive with <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/wags" target="_blank">athletes and their celebrity wives or girlfriends</a> too famous to ever consider reality TV. A show chronicling the lives of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen or a series following David and Victoria Beckham would certainly draw a crowd but would the couples ever agree to such a thing? Doubtful at best. For other couples, reality television is not considered that unreasonable. Many have done it before like Khloe Kardashian and NBA player Lamar Odom and NFL wideout Chad Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada. That's where these mid-level athletes with famous wives could shine. How about a show following retired NHL player Mike Comrie and wife Hilary Duff? Or maybe a return to reality television for "Hills" star Kristin Cavallari now that she's with quarterback Jay Cutler?Any of these athletes and many more would make great stars of reality television should they agree to allow themselves to be followed around by cameras nonstop.

Revisiting the 2000s

Saturday Night Live went through some big changes in the 2000s - from the 9/11 attacks to the writers strike that shortened season 33 to some big cast shakeups mid-decade.&nbsp; Even with several hosts returning multiple times there were almost 160 different hosts in the &#39;00s. If you can&#39;t remember everybody who got to open the show, then refresh your memory with this list of the people who were hosts from 2000 through 2009, ranked from best SNL &#39;00s hosts to worst SNL &#39;00s hosts.

The 2000s saw over two dozen people return to host SNL, with Alec Baldwin again appearing the most times. Other celebrities, such as Ben Affleck and Dwayne Johnson appeared regularly as well, but none made quite the impression as Justin Timberlake&#39;s four appearances did, along with his <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-snl-digital-shorts/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Digital Shorts</a> participation that made him such a frequent <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-snl-host-musical-guests/best-of-snl" target="_blank">musical guest and host</a> in the 2000s.

These players help tell the story of baseball since Jackie Robinson famously broke the color barrier and became the first Black man to play in in the major leagues, and some go back even before that time.

Famous talents like Oscar Charleston and Cool Papa Bell never got the chance to show what they could do on the game&#39;s biggest stage, while legendary pitcher Satchel Paige only made it to MLB in his older years. But among the greatest African American baseball players ever are some of the best pro ballplayers ever to lace up their cleats, players such as Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Willie McCovey.

More modern stars like Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr., and Derek Jeter built their Hall of Fame-level careers walking in the footsteps of the best Black ballplayers to come before them. These players are World Series champions, MVPs, Cy Young winners, and Hall of Famers, and they have made their mark on baseball in the biggest ways.

So vote for who you think is the best Black professional baseball player of all time&nbsp;and be sure to share the list with your friends to see how they vote!

These are the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-50-current-best-baseball-players?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best MLB players</a> to have their numbers retired by the team where they made the biggest impact. Not every player in the MLB gets their number retired, it is an honor bestowed upon the best players of a franchise. The Yankees have the most retired jerseys, with 22 numbers never to be worn again by a Yankees player. Does that mean that Babe Ruth&nbsp;or another Yankee&nbsp;will make it to the top of the list? While all of these baseball players are great at the game, having your number retired does not automatically get you into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Players on this list that have been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame are noted. The one MLB retired number that is effective league-wide is Jackie Robinson&rsquo;s number 42. Every player, manager, and coach wears the number 42 on Jackie Robinson Day, April 15. 
 
Look below to see all the numbers retired in the MLB and if your favorite player has had their number retired. Then vote up the players that you think played the game the best. This list does not have current players because they are still using their numbers and it does not have numbers that were retired for coaches, managers, or owners. This list is for players only and will determine the best MLB players to have had their number retired.
