Then how does one know who's a leader and who's not? Who's inspirational, and who isn't? Afterall, isn't the whole argument against A-Rod that he hasn't "inspired" his teammates to a World Series? If winning the championship or having the best record isn't required, what gives?
To draw a parallel to PJP's earlier anecdote about Jeter playing through injuries, Alex Rodriguez played in all 486 games during his time as a Ranger(finishing at nearly 600 overall). Didn't miss one. Surely, during that time, he had to endure many injuries. How is it leadership for Jeter, but "looking out for #1" for A-Rod?
