Jordan’s presence put Jeter’s career in perspective

The presence of Michael Jordan, the other great winner of that generation, said so much about Derek Jeter, didn’t it? It said more than the words of Michael Kay, Rudy G., Tulo, Big Papi, Shaq and Kobe, said more than the thousands of words spoken by others at Yankee Stadium on Sunday and more than words written by the folks paid to provide perspective. That 23 showed up for 2 was more eloquent, too, and a powerful means of measuring the Yankees shortstop on his day of days.
