Jeter was not out of position. He saw the ball was overthrown and sprinted to it....not to mention the flip.

I am not one to go overboard and proclaim Jeter the best player in MLB, but he is one of the best shortstops, and a terrific player. If he was not a Yankee he is the type of guy who most of you would consider as one of the good guys in sports. He calls his manager Mr. Torre, he wants to play (and will play) for 1 team for his entire career. He works hard day in and day out, he never takes a day off. He lives by the saying, "Somebody here is seeing you for the first time, so play like it." He takes time while in the on deck circle to talk to fans. He doesn't cry about bad calls. He enjoys playing the game for the love of the game. He is a clubhouse leader and not a cancer....the list goes on and on...
