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. Andrew Beltran San Jose, Calif. D Jitty Bobby Richards Dallas Derek Leave It to Jeter Hassan D Stevenson Hinsdale, Ill. 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. Travis Delaney Redding, Calif.

Derek Off the Meter Jeter Ingrid Colebrook Jersey City, N.J. The Chosen One Kurt Steck Sammamish, Wash.

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.
