Derek Jeter

Isn't he really the last national baseball star? Who recognizes Trout, Judge, Kershaw et al., outside their immediate respective
areas?

as good as they are those 3 have not been on a winning WS team. . The yanks last repeat winner winning 4 of 5 .. before that toronto then big red machine. Everyone remembers jeter hit after hit in WS. Yanks under father steinbrenner liked to win . You seen Jeters face every october and never left the yankees.. Hit over .300 & 3k hits.

Agree. If Trout were in NY, he would be a megastar away from the game also.

But Judge is big, but not for his height, unrecognizable.

Nobody cares anymore. The 3 outcomes obsession has destroyed MLB. People don't want to watch a bunch of strikeouts and walks.

Baseball is boring; it doesn’t create stars
