Ripken didn’t play for the Yankees. Jeter did. It’s called bias.

Its not called bias. Its called performance.

Jeter lifetime BA: .310
Ripken lifetime BA: .276

Ripken was the iron man, but that doesn’t make him necessarily the better player. Its very close, but I wouldn’t attribute it to bias. And who won more World Series Championships? Jeter by a mile.
