NEW YORK _ Derek Jeter's numbers speak for themselves and will get him elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first time on the ballot.
But that part is easy for all to see: 3,465 hits, eight 200-hit seasons, .310 batting average, 1,923 runs scored, five World Series rings, etc. What about the men whose job it was to limit some of those statistics?
In advance of Tuesday's announcement of the Hall's Class of 2020 at 6 p.m. on MLB Network, Newsday asked three MLB Network analysts, each of whom _ like Jeter _ spent more than a decade-and-a-half in the majors, what it was like to pitch to him.
