Kruk is correct. In 2002, the All-Star game ended in a tie because both teams didn't want to keep playing after 10 innings. Then a few years later, a superstar like Jeter opts out after being voted-in by the fans. These little things add up and ruin the All-Star game. Once the fans catch on that the players don't seem to care about the All-Star game, the fans stop caring. Take the NFL Pro-Bowl for example, it used to be a meaningful game a few decades ago. Now, NOBODY watches it.
For one thing, if the game matters, why are the fans voting on it? That's just a popularity contest, and not necessarily the best players. Both leagues should be fielding the best team possible, like a play-off game, instead of this nonsense they got going on now
Doesn't help that they moved the probowl to the week before the superbowl instead of after like it used to be. Now the actual best players dont play in it because they dont want to risk injury right before the biggest game.
@@VidaBlue317 Fans usually vote for the better players, why would they be fans if not. Kinda like NFL and NBA. All players on that field were voted in but are all legendary players. It's the attitude that he is mentioning, attitude amplifies.
Greatest player of our generation??? Come on bobby V. Pujols, Griffey, bonds, chipper, Maddox , big unit, just to name a few. Jeter was a very good hitter who was always batting # 2 on the best team money can buy. Always got balls to hit. Defense was historically bad. He definitely a HOf but benefits greatly from playing in Gotham.
... It's sad that players and teams don't give a shit about the All Star Game anymore, even with the "home field for the World Series" gimmick attached to it. I don't blame old school guys like Valentine and Kruk being upset about this.
Jeter...Gets a pass for everthing...In NY they treat this guy like a GOD...I think he is a phony...and while he will be a first ballot Hall of Famer...I thibk he was a very very good baseball player,,he was more of an accumulator..of stats
Rob Manfred: “Hey Derek on behalf of Major League Baseball, would just to congratulate you on being elected to the baseball hall of fame, fans will be dying to see you take to that podium with your plaque in July” Derek Jeter: “Uh, I’ll take a rain check on that, just ship the plaque Fedex to me, k? Thanks!”
@tennesseevol16 players owe it to the fans to play. We are the reason they are paid millions, we are the reasons they have jobs. He should have been there. The moment players take for granted the fans is the same moment when they'll lose the trust of their fans again and it will be worse than the strike in the 90 start almost killed baseball completely.
Him no-showing is a giant "fuck you" to the fans and some of them (judging these comments, here), apparently, are too damned blind to see that. Barry Larkin's commentary was so chicken shit. Just call a spade a spade like Kruk was doing. The excuses people will make for others who are rich and famous is simply mind-boggling.
Icecreamforcrowtoo I have to agree with John Kruk, and the interesting thing is that Jeter is known for doing the right thing and doing whatever will avoid making a bad impression. Derek Jeter was usually not a selfish person. As Captain, he answered questions every night and never hid. I'm not going to be as hard on him as John was, but perhaps the reason John was a bit peeved was because he saw this gesture as being out of character for Derek.
+Daniel Zanier not selfish? he refused to move from shortstop when they got arod, stayed there for his entire career when he was terrible defensively and depsite being awful the last 2 years of his career had to bat second as well to the detriment of the team.
Ahhhh.... I didn't see an explosion. I thought I was going to see John Kruk explode. Like go Kaboooom! What a let down, I guess I need to stop taking the titles of all these RUclips videos to seriously. Did he ever explode? Does he explode in another video? Please help me out.
@@savagedick8829 then the Astros would've been better. Let's not pretend that ANYONE drafted would've done what DJ did in NY. It ain't like he was a bench player like Andy Fox or Clay Bellinger.
Torre became a saint and hall of famer on Steinbrenner's money plain and simple. Valentine is smoking some insane stuff if he believes Jeter is "the greatest player in our generation" - Jeter was a wonderful player who came up clutch many a time on some great teams as many other ball players have - but come on Bobby - must have been a fuck up on your part - you're not serious!
If anything Jeter reminds me of Cal Ripken. Nice classy guy, you'd have no problem taking home to a family dinner. Great dudes and very solid ball players. But nowhere near the best
Jeter no doubt will always be a legend, but he was never better than A-Rod. A-Rod was a far better hitter & SS, but Jeter was the sentimental player, something A-Rod never was.
Who cares? Jeter has 5 World Series rings. That's why the game is played. Nothing to prove at a meaningless all star game in Arizona of all places. Half of those fans in that place don't like Jeter anyway. John Kruk and his ESPN posse trying to make something out of nothing. Jeter one of the most iconic players of a generation. (Right Calf Injury) I think he earned a day off that day.
John Kruk deliberately struck out against Randy Johnson in the 1993 All-Star game. He's laughed about it ever since. Naturally Kruk would say that Jeter just needs to show up, tip his hat, and take it easy. That's Kruk's attitude toward the All-Star game. But Jeter can't do that. He takes every game seriously. He's the reason for the AL dominance in the past decade. I hate the AL, I don't like the Yankees, but I respect Derek Jeter. I have no respect for John Kruk and he should shut up.
Waaa waaa it's whine country. Larkin is the only one who had it rig'ht. These guys have no clue what it's like to get 3000 hits and the type of toll it takes on a person mentally and physically. When Maris hit his 61 his hair was falling out and he puked before every game. Jeter needed the break. It's a player choice if he wants to be at the AS game if chosen. Jeter is an all star whether the fans choose him or not that's something you get when you break a record like he did.
Doubt you’ll read this being it’s a 10 year old comment😂 But Kruk survived cancer in the middle of his career, still came back, played well, and played in the AS game. Don’t act like Kruk is just some random guy, and don’t give Jeter excuses

"Explodes" is definitely overblowing it.
John Kruk is always right. And a .300 career hitter.
No john is a lefty

The Krukster is honest to the core. He tells it like it is. Always has and always will.
Rob my brother's name was John Kruk too. Kruk means crow in Polish.
@@stephaniestanley8041Barry Larkin is Bobby Brown 😂😂😂
Kruk showed up and played after his cancer surgery, so I think Jeter could show up and play a simple game.
Yup 💯
Facts
He should be there, period. You get voted in, you come to the game.

I don't expect football players to risk injury for a meaningless game. MLB, where the risk of injury is much lower, is a different story
Doesn't help that they moved the probowl to the week before the superbowl instead of after like it used to be. Now the actual best players dont play in it because they dont want to risk injury right before the biggest game.

John Kruk = 1 of the greatest Las Vegas Stars hitters ever
it's nice that at least a few of the guys on espn aren't puppets
steve rand Ii Agreed.
Well I must have missed the "explosion"............
You tell em Krukker. Jeter was voted in by his fanbase and he didn't show up, how ignorant
Did he explode in his pants? Listen to him do Phillies games when they're being blown out and you will hear him explode for real.
Greatest player of our generation??? Come on bobby V.

WHOA!!! Kruk went off! #EXPLOSION!
Big blip?
I didn't even remember this happened.
Naturally the black guy covering for the black guy. Typical.
When John Kruk met Chuck Norris... Chuck shook HIS hand
John Kruk drinks 50 beers and went on field as an all star, Jeter has some personal issues, he gets a tissue and stays home...
Kruk ate his way out of baseball and Jeter played for 100 years.
@@jeffw1267kruks a .300 career hitter who was overweight for most his career lol. He had very productive seasons for someone of his stature
Kruk is right
He is right. 100% right. Jeter with a bush league move.
Explodes is a pretty strong word.
... It's sad that players and teams don't give a shit about the All Star Game anymore, even with the "home field for the World Series" gimmick attached to it. I don't blame old school guys like Valentine and Kruk being upset about this.
Sooooooo this is what "click bait" looked like back in 2011.
Who told you to put the balm on? I didn't tell you to put the balm on. Why did you put the balm on?
Krukie and Shill need to be announcing hames.
I was at this All Star Game and was a complete joke. Too many Damn replacement. And Dbags organization and the fans got robbed on this one.
I still can't believe Barry Larkin won an MVP
Or that he’s in the HOF
Wait why
@@holiday42020
Because the baseball writers usually go for the big numbers and there were a lot of big numbers in 1995.

No exploding whatsoever. The title is a LIE. I hope you're proud.
I agree with kruk 💯 and I was a Yankees fan and jeter fan
Shame he didn't send the sirens after him...
I'm sorry, I can't get past Bobby Valentine's eyebrows. Were those painted on?
Looked like it. That toupee was top notch also. Go back to Japan and manage Bobby.

Nice click bait title description. I really wish people would stop doing this just to get a few extra views.
Idk he does seem pretty worked up
You really clicked on this video expecting john kruk to explode
Twitter was around?

John Kruk has one ball
And that's one more than you

Hey Bobby why don't you get on Twitter and explain why you were invited to anything?

Sure, Bobby.
Bobby Valentine is a clown.
Lol..hell yeah

@pictureisup1 Easy there now.
i cant stand the yankees derek jeter was a great player but screw him he wasnt even half as great as mickey mantle and roger maris
I'm a Yankees fan Torre Jeter and Posada are over rated.

If anything Jeter reminds me of Cal Ripken. Nice classy guy, you'd have no problem taking home to a family dinner. Great dudes and very solid ball players. But nowhere near the best
Who else had more hits in the time Jeter played? No one
Jeter no doubt will always be a legend, but he was never better than A-Rod. A-Rod was a far better hitter & SS, but Jeter was the sentimental player, something A-Rod never was.
yeah you say it all new york represents sucks the jets sucks the giants the ranger sucks the mets sucks and specialist the yankee sucks
You could tell Larkin was defending Jeter cause he is black. Or atleast his father was lol
Overrated but a hallafamer
People were this upset over an exhibition game? jesus
