Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter interview from 1998

[panterrible2]

i wanna see the part with griffey after this! anyone know where that is?

[terrinyc29]

dos mulattos

[Calibersz]

They both dated hot models, so no.

[GoldLionVideo]

Are they gay? Just asking.

[JackBauer270]

They should have kept A-Rod at shortstop and made Jeter move to 3rd, A-Rod was always a better shortstop.

[jeremygarobinson]

i heard a-rod and jeter were dating again

[tjbmsp]

and then arod became a douche .. u could see it coming when he referred to himself in third person in this interview

[YoyoCarlanie]

Rx: Mariconfianza (19-45) IN & OUT, NJ ? - CH IV [Arroyo Hondo] NYPD 425 CPW 440..

[Dreamewalker]

A Rod has some freakin huge mitts.

[Dreamewalker]

Man. I remember watching this on Saturday Afternoon baseball on Fox.

[mbrennan27]

this is weird

[alexgmsea]

Bet they both suck a mean one

[TittyTittyBangBangXX]

@alexgmsea Ur mother sucked me pretty good last night.

[ryandrew44]

Jeter recruited A-Rod. Shouldn't have.

[rsbutz1]

watch?v=isOcdAbc8OE

arod bieng choke artist

[THEGRUNGEMENACE]

YO! - Where's My Fucking Mets Video? lol

[michaellaker]

why dont chu suck each others cocks why dont yuu

[keenanmartens]

I wanted to see the Griffey stuff at the end, post that video

[brmorrison61]

wow...cell phones were wack

[theshamann420]

"that's the kind of friend he is hehe"

[dzanier]

Even back then, as hard as he tried Alex could never come across as being humble. Maybe it's impossible to have that kind of talent & be humble. The stuff he said about Jeter in that article prior to signing with Texas were idiotic. What made him think Derek wouldn't be upset by that? He's so unaware at times of how things will appear. He opts out of a deal where he's making 25 million to see if he can milk 8 or 9 more. His old deal, which would've expired in 2010, is still the highest ever

[SuperWalkingParadox]

@dzanier Be quiet lol just ranting for no reason

[comeandgetit55]

I didn't know A Rod played short too wow

[dannylko]

@comeandgetit55 omg..how young are you

[pchopjones]

@comeandgetit55 won 2 gold gloves at ss.

[superthunderpikachu]

Ive been doing some research on the jeter vs arod thing and came out with this timeline

Friends

1991-2000

Foes

2000-2008

Friends again

2008-Present

[Savorist]

This feels like a commercial for eHarmony

[hypnocil10]

2 biggest morons in mlb

[ImSoAlpha]

@hypnocil10 your a hater and a jealous loser. go cry , thats why your watching their vids you bitch

[superthunderpikachu]

@ImSoAlpha I agree 100%

[derek12593]

@hypnocil10 Fucking faggot

[AKABoondock19]

Jeter = Class, AROD = Ass

Love,

Red Sox Fan

[Jatt96]

How does the player better than both of these guys only get 2 seconds of air time at the end.

Junior.

[musicmakesmesmile101]

awwww.. i lu them both so much they were so cute back then. they still are<3

[lcovati]

They still aren't buds like before!

[myhannahconda]

Funny, they're friends now.

[MegaEa1]

they r still  friends!

[pesol42]

Damn! I remember watching this piece during a game on fox. I can't believe it's been 13 years since that magical season.



[NSBexclusive22]

only if these years can come back! the good all years! = D

[mediblue9]

ARod absent for Jeter's 3000 hits...awesome!

[myhannahconda]

@mediblue9 He was present...

[kleptodathief]

DJ didn't get all juiced up lolz like gayrod did...jeter is clean as a whistle but gayrod is much richer lolz

[jonzoid99]

wow its like they're blowing eachother

[Delterduo]

So how come they're not friends now?

[housemusic79]

@Delterduo Rodriguez took shots at Jeter in a 2001 interview with Esquire magazine. "Jeter's been blessed with talent around him. He never had to lead. And he hits second- that's totally different than third or fourth in the lineup. You go into New York, you wanna stop Bernie and O'Neill. You never say, Don't let Derek beat you. He's never your concern." Ouch

[myhannahconda]

@Delterduo They are.

[livefrom201]

Alex Rodriguez before he was A-Roid and A-Douche! :D

[MasterJ99]

jeter is right.. arod is full of shit

[ejp93]

haha look at the phone!!!!

[coolguy02536]

Wow, this was back when they actually had hair! Just goes to show how old they are...

[peterganna]

6 HITS GODDAMIT JUST 6 HITS AND NOW HES ON THE DL and AROD and jeter arent friends anymore im pretty sure they r

[chronicpk]

LOOK AT THAT GROSS PHONE OH MY LORD

[NFLdude505]

@TheEndofdays311 when is reality Jeters the black guy, and Arods the latino

[cientifico30]

Did Jeter hairline was a lot fuller back then or i'm going crazy over here?

[NYYbronx28]

@cientifico30 Of course his hairline was much fuller because in 1998 he was around 25 then and is 37 now....

[bklynguy27]

wow, I just noticed Jeter's hairline was a lot fuller back in those days....lol

[Absolut187]

theyre friends again...people dont know what theyre talking about.

[ipwnpat]

jeter's the man. so is arod, this interview is very respectable and relaxed. both are legends

[barbuster]

@ipwnpat you can't put up a post like this that is complimentary and reasonable . . .you have to spew out hatred and insults like everyone else on youtube . . .

[GettinMoneyEnt13]

umm did any1 else see arods through what a hunk

[bbri1991]

why cant we get them to be friends? could you imagine how dominant we would be if they were best friends again? we'd have won like 5 world series with them already instead of just one.

[The50CalMrMcNall]

r they not friends anymore?

[bklynguy27]

@The50CalMrMcNall no, they're just team mates who tolerate each other now. And for many years, before AROD joined the Yankees, they didn't even speak to each other.

[The50CalMrMcNall]

@bklynguy27 so they r not friends

[bklynguy27]

@The50CalMrMcNall nope, not anymore

[NileyLove200]

BUt they're still friends ... right?!

[myapple12345]

I actually remember when this first aired. Quite nostalgic.

[AverageJoeNJ]

there's no doubt that derek jeter, Michael Jordan, and tiger woods were the best athletes of their sport in a long time

[kelmi16]

Awww they're so cute!!!

[djflipflop23]

this interview is so laid-back and calm and chill, i love it. (even though i dont like the yankees ) imagine if these guys were wandering around a city together doing an interview nowadays. in the background there would be swarms of friggin people trying to take pictures & screaming. thats why too much fame sucks, the early interviews of really fammous people or athletes are ALWAYS the best because theyre so chill & happy to be interviewed since theyre not used to it yet.

[cupertinoish]

good to see they're friends again

[keapst]

aha, they were pretty cool.

[spliffgame]

They didn't see eye-to-eye for awhile but I think they have become good friends again.

[Semir313]

of course they were friends before they were teammates..U think jeter wants a teamate on his side if aint like him NO!!...u think Arod would sacrafice his position if didnt like jeter much and that he knew he can win a title......and for the whole steroids problem..read some facts when he those drugs they were not BANNED in 03 they are banned now...AROD is still talent with steroids or with em..

[Methodoc]

What money does to people, these two at the time of this video we're not making as much as they do now, look how different they are now. BTW, fuck the Yankees, lol.

[Shiv83]

i hate the yankees with every fiber in my body...but i got a tremendous amount of respect for Jeter....not so much A-rod

[werdap6931]

i have to agree i really dont mind steroids in the MLB. These players get paid millions of dollars and should be able to do whatever they want to live up for the contract. If the pitchers and players use steroids then what's the problem?

[cantbackdown123]

They aren't friends anymore anybody know?

[MacGovernor]

Arod is a JUDAS ISCARIOT! Left Seattle after a 116 win season for Bush's Rangers, for money and steroids, how pathetic is that... Luckily his big pal Jeter finally got him that ring in 2009.

[angelmusa11]

@MacGovernor I bet if you were offer at another job 20K more you would leave, let alone 20 million a year lol! Be realistic. If the team owners are making a ton of money, why wouldn't the players?

[TheMvp2011]

who ever said he should have stayed at short is dumb do you know he plays on the same team as derek jeter. dumbass

[SCUBONZIES]

IT'S WHEN TIME ENDED

[LoRod60]

This video was awesome! I am so glad that I found it! I hope that they will always be friends!

[NY5tillMiCASA]

wow i remember this back in the day lol

[SadClownBadSpring]

A-Rod shoulda stayed at short

[Woblesavvy]

ARod was a toothpick before he started to juice.

[NYerintransit]

@Woblesavvy There's nothing wrong with doing steroids. Hell, if I were a baseball player, I would do steroids.

[falcorz70]

@Woblesavvy

Still hit 40 something home runs the season before he used steroids, "toothpick" or not

[TriCk2o9]

@Woblesavvy He was hitting 30-40 HRs a year before anyone was accused of steroids. He was in his early 20s when he first hit the bigs, so he just wasnt done developing yet. Later on in his career he was probably in the weight room more .

[pchopjones]

@Woblesavvy yah and he was still hitting 40+ home runs before he started taking and hit 50+ years after he stopped.

[BDOUG23]

@Woblesavvy Yeah but as people age they fill out some too. Look how thin Bernie Williams was when he started and same with Rivera. Rivera was REALLY skinny as was Bernie.

[TheKoburn7]

@BDOUG23 exactly, people think steroids helps you hit a baseball farther and i just laugh. i could take steroids, and that dont mean im gonna hit 50 homers in the bigs. if it were so, why wouldnt everyone be doing in lol, oh yea thats right everyone was doing it lol.

[elburro12345]

@Woblesavvy i know and jeter looked bigger than him.

[Uphamfromfar]

Megapilin shit talker, u know nothing, u could explain ur sheet in Spanish and no one would listen to u.

[jcdixon97]

Felt like watching a movie trailer for the sports version of Dumb and Dumber.

[orlandoldr1]

A rod and jeter best friends plus Alex Rodriguez use steroids when he was with the ranger in 2003

[NYerintransit]

@orlandoldr1 Nothing wrong with doing steroids.

[K00lDrew]

Ok everyone lets get this straight.... A-ROD is obviously not on steiroids anymore and he is still hitting better than ever, best player in MLB without a doubt. Derek Jeter is the most natural clutch hitter in the MLB. So no 1 mention roids, get the skills of A ROD then you can complain about roids!

[tiland520]

@K00lDrew better than ever? is a .270 average better than ever? get real.

[K00lDrew]

@tiland520 Ya it is when you are out half the season because of injuries, why which team do u like? Dont be mad!

[tiland520]

@K00lDrew haha i am not mad. i just dont respect a-rod. i am a seattle fan so i can tell you everything about disappointment

[K00lDrew]

@tiland520 kk... I just take a-rod for the type of ballplayer he is... Anyway 50% of MLB is on steiroids, wouldnt be surprised if Jeter was on em to...

[neerrg]

@K00lDrew No one is doubting that he's talented. Doesn't change the fact that he did use steroids.

[K00lDrew]

@neerrg Yes he did use steiroids...... but he is not on them anymore, lets see how he does this season then get back to me.....

[neerrg]

@K00lDrew no I won't get back to you.He wasn't on them last season and he hit 30 hr a 100rbi. He's talented but his legacy his tainted.

[EpicTVHD]

arods a steroid-taking douche. i cant respect him. on the other hand, jeter is a great player and has been with the yankees from the start. he deserves more respect, because hes a great player on both defense and offence.

[monkeynuts76]

is he still pumping cameron diaz's fart hole?

[dtruth20091]

The only thing about Jeter that I respect is that in playoff he plays very good and is a Yankee living legend, but if somebody ask me who`s better I I think is A-rod, the number says it all, I know about the Steroids but he still hits for power without it.

[Gucgm]

yesss

[laestampaMVP05]

@CharlesNigro , @ashinmouth : Alex Rodriguez is the best player, Jeter never be better than A-Rod was better on defense when he was at shortstop.

275 million contract. Stupid selfish.

[laestampaMVP05]

Alex Rodriguez is the best player, Jeter never be better than A-Rod was better on defense when he was at shortstop.

stupid selfish .

[JLOZANO2]

AROD WAS THE BETTER SHORT STOP BY MILES . JETER HAS BEEN A VERY LUCKY PLAYER .

[ItsFrankieBoy]

@JLOZANO2 Lucky? Lucky how?

[piperpig]

Alex, that's not baseball in you blood. It's steroids.

[chicksdigmizunos98]

@piperpig too bad he hasn't touched a needle in 7 years

[rrrjjjmmm100]

all of these players do not need steroids,they have impressive stats already plus $100 mil or more,what's wrong with them?

[NYerintransit]

This was the year the Yankees couldn't be stopped. By anyone. It was just one long ass-raping on the rest of baseball. Only militant Yankee haters and Red Sox fans were in denial about how it would end.

[randomname349]

@1Lupie lol bullshit. ARod was an outstanding SS. At the top of his game, Jeter was still just an okay defender. Don't buy into the Gold Glove hype.

[DayInLifeTV]

Its not like they're enemies. back when they were "best friends" we're talking about being young in their early 20s and they both shared being highly ranked players coming up the system. it was like a honeymoon i guess you can say. they grow up, Jeter went on to win all those rings and play on successful teams, A-Rod went on to a massive contract, personal highlights w/ no team success, and he got married with kids. they play together now & they win together. they're cool w/each other

[mikeyrobins022585]

A couple of overpaid bastards

[ItsFrankieBoy]

@mikeyrobins022585 LOL I have to agree

[ballinbro5]

how could u not like this?

[tatertots00]

A-Rod is better looking and a better player

[hosiery08]

I do not know why these guys have such inflated sense of self. Totally sucks.

[mxpassion17]

These two have banged a lot of hotties , wish i can get some putang like these two have. Im stuck with laqueesha all 200 lbs of her.

[Yeswekanbar]

@mxpassion17 Hey it could be worse. She could be 250 lbs.

[mxpassion17]

@Yeswekanbar come on dude dont make fun of my situation...LOL

[chicksdigmizunos98]

@1Lupie yankees just think he wont get any better apparently

[jakebank]

Derek: "I can't get over how beautiful Seattle is"

Alex: (Chuckles) -Thinking, "God, how much longer until I can get out of here"

[whitefangv]

LOL those were the days. They were better friends then when they were 3 time zones apart then they are now 40 feet apart.

[jstock100]

@whitefangv Whatever! If u really watched a Yankee game u would see that they are constantly sitting next to each other, and talking.

[averagejoe511]

@whitefangv I would like to join you to join our writing team for the New York Times. We pay $300,000 a year. Interested? 

[chicksdigmizunos98]

@1Lupie he was 36, had very bad knees and they just let him go, im mad about that same thing to with damon, and they replaced with with johnson who sucks dick

[laestampaMVP05]

@1Lupie : Do not say nonsense, A-Rod was always better SS than Jeter.

[WiiLD724]

best players in the game

[whb786]

Back when both of them weren't fucking egotistical douchebags.

[Jerzee529]

@1Lupie I disagree. I like Jeter and all, but people need to stop kissing his ass. He plays shortstop but isn't the best shortstop on the team. $45 million is generous considering his age and abilities!!

[BenDjavaheri]

@Jerzee529 @1Lupie @chicksdigmizunos98 For a team that prides itself on buying the best players regardless of cost, this is befuddling. Ok, so the Steinbrenner brothers now want to establish an era where they do make "reasonable" financial decisions. Why make an example out of the guy who has been the most iconic franchise figure in the last 15 years? They already way overpaid A-Rod on his recent contract and he missed a lot of games. Jeter, while playing poorly, consistently suits up.

[Jerzee529]

@BenDjavaheri That makes no sense.

[shall2347]

this greedy mother fucker wants 150 million over 6 years? LMAO hes not worth half-that half-that. No that was not a typo.

[laestampaMVP05]

3:21 when A-Rod was a shortstop he was a much better defensive shortstop than derek jeter ..

[SlurMalak]

The yanks need to pay Jeter... They've got the cash

[jonesjames43]

@SlurMalak i agree

[nickiscool98]

this is so cool

[skeeterboy980]

Aww i remember these guys from backyard baseball 2001 when a-rod said

"My friend derek jeeter is supposed to be here, he plays short stop too"

[slapshot68]

this must of ben key of picking the yankees over boston in 04

[slapshot68]

did the guard at :27 know that was derek jeter?? lol lol

[axemen36]

OMFG!!! The cell phone!!!!

[slapshot68]

@axemen36 how retarded he wud look carring that phone todai?? lol lol

[MUSICCYCLE]

both these guys are great......no matter what any one has to say.....

[CharlesNigro]

I bet everyone who watched this thought A-Roid would be a first-ballot HOF and Jeter would be a solid player on great Yankee teams. Man, now A-Roid will probably get passed over and Jeter will be remembered as the best AL player of his generation.

[omgitscaity]

lmfao, they're like 12.

[spdogg99]

derek jeter

[ashinmouth]

Rodriguez 36 home runs.... Steriods.

Jeters bat speed.... Gods Gift

[checkersisfortramps]

Haha. Did you see Jeter's cell phone in the beginning. I think that was the Star-tac.

[jordantalknyc]

ARODS COMMENT AT 2:12

[officerbrett]

Hey look it's two chicks one cup! Fuck these cheating cocksuckers.

[heartyevangelista2]

they're still friends...

[neerrg]

why does derek jeter always look like he could be in the "dick in the box" video.

[ToMacco10]

Suck each others cocks why don't you? Pussy Yankees. Fuck you.

[adamsa83]

they were so skinny!

[scrapplecheesesteak]

Cool video, classic stuff!. The hairdos and theway its filmed reminds me of an interview of Kid N Play or Nice N Smooth on YO! MTV Raps circa 1991..lol

[yankees10120]

that was some fucking throw @ 3:20

[s23042387]

帥爆了

[ZLM88]

Great interview but I'm mad Jeter still has the same hair cut 4rm '98 tho lol

[MissSticker]

Has anyone else noticed at 15 sec. there is an AVIS sign behind Jeter? Some good product placement for the official rental car of the Yanks. lol

[jgilb20]

a computer phone huh?

[NYerintransit]

@jgilb20 It was 1998, smartass.

[lizsha2]

This is a nice interview of them. Things have changed since then, but i believe they did patch up their relationship.

[Chevy64w]

this was back when arod was cool. hes cool now. but he had those couple of years when he was a DOUCHE. btw that signed derek jeter rookie card is worth a shitload more than that crappy jacket
