Just about right. The whole, "Mr Clutch" thing was the only real BS thing, to me. If he got a hit in a playoff game it was, "Mr. Clutch!" If he grounded into a DP it was, "And that's the end of the inning."
Getting 3,000 hits as a SS is no small feat, I don't care how much protection you have. And I hate the Yanks. No matter what, in 25 years he's going to be in Yankee lore right up there with Mantle and Joe D.
He has won at least one Gold Glove he didn't deserve, though.
