dork alert!

Derek Jeter's CAREER BABIP: .360!
By year since 1996: .361, .345, .375, .396, .386, .343, .336, .379, .315, .351, .391, .367, .333, .368

That's even better than Ichiro who I thought would be the king of this kind of thing, yeesh. The annoying thing about people waxing rhapsodic about Jeter's intangibles is that it takes away from how very, very good he is in a totally tangible way. Career 131 wRC+ from a shortstop, yes please.
