        [deleted]
        
        That is largely local. I saw him on a deoderant ad. That is it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:56 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Jeter's realistically the only baseball player to be national often thru Gillette (w Tiger and Federer) and stuff. - Will Hunting Jul 1, 08:59 3
        
        Jeter's also heavily featured in Gatorade commercials. (nm) - musubi Jul 1, 09:02 2

      - Well, be as transcendent a star as Tiger and you too can earn 92mil in endorsements annually. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 1, 08:45 4
        
        Where do I fill out an application for "Transcendant Star". Maybe I'll polish up my resume first. (nm) - musubi Jul 1, 08:51 3
        
        My favorite Tiger story is Nike back in 2000 intro'ed their new golf ball. - Will Hunting Jul 1, 08:55 2
        
        Out of curiosity, do you know what share it has now? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 1, 08:59 1
