How about the best complete player who left nothing on the field.
As purely a shortstop playing his defensive position are there not shortstops that have been better? Better range, better arm, better quickness?
I am a huge Jeter fan, my dog is named Jeter and he is my son's and my favorite player. But, I am not convinced that he is the best Shortstop that has ever played the game.
Although, I remain a huge fan.
