PatB is an idiot. Who in the world ever said John Wayne was a pretty man? Your argument is as stupid as Danny Davito being Peoples most beautiful peaple because he is extra short.

definitely 6-10. dude is huge and gangly. saw him once in phoenix walking into a restaurant, i thought he was 7 ft at a glance. he's as tall or taller than most NBA forwards. shesa12 says on 22/Nov/11
Then there are those of us tall women,(6'1") that believe Randy is handsome,and would rather not have you 'shortys' ask for a dance. Keith says on 5/Nov/11
@ Mathew how do you know that fan is really 6'3? Rusty says on 2/Oct/11
Jeter has a lanky build which can make him look tall for sure, no clue on his real height though. Mathew says on 13/Jul/11
Yeah, it turns out Derek Jeter isn't a legitimate 6'3". Here he is with the 6'3" fan who caught his 3000th hit: Click Here
Jeter: 6'2"
A-Rod: 6'1"
Sabathia: 6'5" max
Randy Johnson: 6'10" JellO says on 14/Jun/11
lol at Clooney being a "litty itty bitty guy". He's like 5'11! T says on 31/May/11
@PatB u should write those comments on the general height page i think the reaction would be interesting PatB says on 30/May/11
Randy Johnson is very tall and very ugly. That's not a coincidence. Tall people are not as handsome or as pretty as shorter people. In physical antropology this is termed allomorphism. Some small guys are neotenic too - meaning they have juvenile features. Look at Richard Keil or any other pituitary giant, they have massive (and unattractive jaws) whereas small men have delicate almost feminine features. It's just much easier to be photogenic if you are a little itty bitty guy like George Clooney or Tom Cruise. Clooney looks great in the close ups but when the camera draws back it is revealed that everyone else around him is larger. That's why Hollywood has long had a series of tiny but very handsome leading men - starting with Alan Ladd and including more recently Robert Redford.
You can see this in animals too. My cousin has a Great Dane. These dogs have big skulls with large brow ridges. I have a tiny King Charles Spaniel - he looks like a puppy - cute as hell. He has a baby face. He is neotenous.
The rare exception to these rules would be the young John Wayne - a pretty man of 6'4" with delicate features. Most big guys have had too much growth hormone and testosterone in puberty. They are too masculine looking to be appropriate for Hollywood.
BTW pitchers are usually the tallest guy on the team. Ruth at around 6'2" was a pitcher. Today most pitchers are lanky guys around 6'4". Being tall hurts when you are in the batter's box - too big a strike zone. Mathew says on 25/Apr/11
Maybe Jeter 189 cm to A Rod 186 cm? jtm says on 24/Apr/11
that is correct viper. Viper says on 23/Apr/11
Jeter is 6-2, A-rod 6-1 range. Brad says on 22/Apr/11
I was looking up at him by 4", he's really tall. Mathew says on 21/Apr/11
Johnson is one of the baseball players whose listed height looks about right. There are a lot of inaccurate baseball heights. For example, C.C. Sabathia is NOT 6'7" the way he's listed. He's more like 6'5" range. Derek Jeter who is around his listed 6'3" (if he's under, it's not by much) is around 1.5" taller than similarly 6'3" listed listed A-Rod. Many more examples too. some guy says on 12/Feb/11
every website ive ever seen list him as 208cm he looks like a giant 208cm easily Anonymous says on 4/Dec/10
