Alex Rodriguez started the beef between them

To this, Jeter has said,?“I’m not trying to beat Alex’s record anyway. The only record I’m concerned with is Yogi’s record, and that’s the ten championships.”

Alex then said that there is no beef, but it was different from Jeter’s side. In the recent documentary that came out,?‘The Captain’?about Jeter, he clearly says,?“Those comments bothered me because, like I said, I’m very, very loyal. As a friend, I’m loyal. I just looked at it as, ‘I wouldn’t have done it.'”
