Derek Jeter and Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez are two of the prominent personalities in Major League baseball. Both have spent a large amount of time at the New York Yankees. Having played for over 11 years together, A-Rod and Jeter were two of the most popular players in MLB.
However, there was a point when the two did not share a good relationship between them. And it was quite obvious. Because both were top players playing for the same franchise.

Looking back at their playing days, A-Rod was more of an individual, while Jeter was a team man. After winning five World Series with the Yankees, Jeter bid farewell to the game in the 2014 season.
Considering his dedication and loyalty to the team, the New York Yankees retired Jeter’s iconic jersey no. 2 to honor his legacy. In 2020, Major League Baseball also recognized Jeter’s contribution to the game and honored him with the Hall of Fame induction.
