As a player, Jeter defined greatness in just about every way it can be defined. He prepared meticulously, worked relentlessly. He produced with numbing consistency and was at his best when the lights were the brightest. He never seemed overwhelmed by any moment, no matter how big. He was never really satisfied, either.
"He was the most inquisitive, the most interested," Dave Winfield said. "He's going to leave a legacy that every other player is going to try and emulate."
Jeter was a leader, but not a leader who said all that much. He was a leader with the way he carried himself, with the way he played and with the way he respected the sport.
Other players noticed. In that quiet way, Jeter set a standard for all of them. He did speak at times, to admonish players about doing things a certain way. But he did it quietly and out of the spotlight.
