NFT: Who would you rather be: Derek Jeter or Frank Sinatra?

Beezer : 5/22/2017 9:12 am
After the Jeter/Brady thread last week, won overwhelmingly by Jeter, thought this might be a closer call: The Captain v. The Chairman of the Board (from the ages of 22 on, each in his day).

Jeter no longer is the clear-cut "man" when it comes to dating/marrying incredible women. He is no longer the clear-cut winner when it comes to a city's admiration. Fact is, Sinatra's appeal was much wider, and while Jeter was great, all things factored, Sinatra is widely regarded to have been "the best."

What say you?

Sinatra.
Jeter  
RobCrossRiver56 : 5/22/2017 9:19 am : link
much safer.

Franks alleged ties to the Mafia complicates things and tips the scale to be Jeter.

for me anyway..
Are those the only choices?

you should post Jeter's starting lineup and ask which one of those BBIers would rather be.

Because it's my question.

Feel free to pose one of your own?

And yes. Sinatra's dead. The question ... in their day. smh
Sinatra.

Jeter was a great baseball player, an all-time Yankee great, but Sinatra was a music and movie icon.

why are you so obsessed with being other people?  
pjcas18 : 5/22/2017 10:40 am : link
is being Beez really that bad you have to day dream about Derek Jeter, Tom Brady and Sinatra?

Whose next Leo Dicaprio or Brad Pitt?

Just be yourself Beez, it can't be that bad, can it?

I'd like to see each of their Lists. Jeter had some USDA Prime on his Dance Card.

But Frank had much more fun.

Jeter was going for quality over quantity... besides he'd have to hire a couple of assistants just to put together the gift baskets!

Beez would probably be the one eating cilantro while saying - It puts the romphim on the skin or it gets the hose again.

was listening to a podcast which had a short discussion about Joe DiMaggio. Seems like this would be a great comparison as they both were Yankees.

Jeter is a great Yankee, but he didn't define his generation.

[All of a sudden, Don Corleone rises from his chair and gives Fontane a savage shake]
Don Corleone: YOU CAN ACT LIKE A MAN!

Don Corleone: What's the matter with you? Is this what you've become, a Hollywood finocchio who cries like a woman? "Oh, what do I do? What do I do?" What is that nonsense? Ridiculous!

Dean was ten times as cool as either Jeter or Sinatra. But supposedly he ended his life in great misery, especially after the loss of his son.

But in their prime? Dean by a mile. Might have had a better voice than Sinatra, was funny as shit and just had charm and personality. Frank and Jeter were/are great icons and banged lots of women but they are also both a little stiff. Dean was just cool.
