Jeter won five World Series championships (1996, 1998-2000, 2009) with the Yankees, and he is sixth all-time with 3,465 career hits and seventh all-time in WAR among full-time shortstops. Here's the career WAR leaderboard among players who played at least half their games at shortstop:

Honus Wagner -- 113.8
Cal Ripken Jr. -- 95.6
Robin Yount -- 77.0
Ozzie Smith -- 76.6
Luke Appling -- 74.2
Arky Vaughan -- 72.4
Derek Jeter -- 71.8
Alan Trammell -- 70.7
Barry Larkin -- 70.2
Pee Wee Reese -- 66.4
Oddly enough, given all that he accomplished his career, Jeter does not have one "signature moment," so to speak. He has signature moments. Plural. Jeter's career was truly storybook. You couldn't script it any better. The championships, the accolades, the history. Jeter was the last true face of baseball, I'd say.

So, with all that in mind, let's look back at the most iconic moments of Jeter's Hall of Fame career.
