Derek Jeter
Derek Jeter has led the Yanks to three straight World Series titles.
On the surface, it appears that Derek Jeter has it all. The Yankees shortstop owns the city of New York, plus four World Series rings, a 10-year contract worth more than $190 million, striking good looks and a history of gorgeous girlfriends.

But there's one thing Jeter doesn't possess -- a catchy nickname. Not even the New York tabloids have anointed Jeet with a moniker that has stuck.

So, we've opened up another case of The Berman Files and enlisted your help to give the Prince of New York a suitable moniker.

Check back next week for another case of The Berman Files.

We received more than 1,800 letters suggesting nicknames. Below at the most clever ideas we received for Jeter, and the poll results to choose the best nickname are at left.

Lord of the Rings
Stafford Woodley
Bronx

Gold Finger
Hunter Manchak
Denver

The Repeater
He has repeatedly gone to the World Series and come out a winner, which is a feat that most players can't even do once.

Jeet-Rod
As the -Rod suffix has more or less become an honorific rather than a nickname, no one is more deserving than Jeter. Next, of course, is Nom-Rod.

Because he is automatic with the glove and the ladies.

The Heartbreak Kid
I'm a Red Sox fan, so we blame all Yankees for our perpetual heartbreak, but I understand women might have some other reason to call Mr. Jeter this name.

Washington

He brings fans to Yankee Stadium.
Ryan Adams
