For the past few months, New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter has been opening up more on social media. He has also made more public appearances following the release of the ESPN special 'The Captain', which explores the life of the Hall of Famer.
The director of the docuseries, Randy Wilkins, also interviewed Alex Rodriguez, which did not go down well.

"A-Rod and I got into it on camera when I interviewed him. I can assure you. We will not work together," Wilkins wrote on Twitter.
The relationship between Derek Jeter and Rodriguez has always been controversial. Although the two were teammates for almost a decade, it was rumored that they did not like each other at all. Whenever the two made appearances together, the conversations were always awkward.
It seems that things have not gotten better with time, according to Wilkins' recent account. Although Rodriguez's interaction was not with Derek Jeter himself, it raises the question as to what’s up between the two.
Both he and A-Rod appeared alongside Michael Kay on a recent Yankees broadcast. During the broadcast, there were many awkward silences and tensions seemed very high.
"The Captain @derekjeter joins us on #KayRodCast this Sunday for Yanks/RedSox.7 PM ET on ESPN2 with @RealMichaelKay." - Alex Rodriguez
Who had a better career, Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez?
When it comes to the shortstop position, both Jeter and Rodriguez are among the greatest of all time. Unlike Jeter, who was an all-time Yankee, A-Rod played significant portions of his career for the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers. In his 22-year career, Rodriguez registered 3115 hits and was four homers shy of 700. However, his career has been shrouded in controversy due to his steroid use.
Derek Jeter, on the other hand, was never accused of anything PED related, and spent the entirety of his 20-year career in the pinstripes. In those years, Jeter had 3465 hits and a .310 batting average.
An argument can be made for both players, but when it comes to being a Yankee, the Captain easily wins that one.
