For the past 2 weeks my friends and I have been debating over who is the greatest shortstop in the modern era? We’ve even asked some experts who have published several baseball books and have written numerous articles and they all have in the top 3: Ozzie Smith, Derek Jeter and Cal Ripken. All of them flip-flop the 3 players in order of greatest to least greatest. So Im asking you, my loyal readers to help us end this debate.
