OT:All Star Game & Jeter(Again)

Jeter is the last great Yankee I will know

Neter doesn't even make it into the the top dozen Yankees of akl-time. I thought that overrated comment was a perfect summary of what a lot of baseball fans think of the overhyped farewell to to a really good, but not great, player.

^^^ ok, list the top 12 Yankees. Compare who did what.

he is one of the best players. he will be missed

In the final act of his final All-Star Game, Derek Jeter did something that was quintessentially him. Asked about his first at-bat here on Tuesday, and Adam Wainwright’s in-game acknowledgment that he had deliberately given him a good pitch to hit, Jeter tried humor to defuse a bubbling controversy.

After beginning with a serious assessment of Wainwright’s pitches, Jeter pivoted suddenly. “I don’t know, man,” he said, to laughter. “If he grooved it, thank you. You’ve still got to hit it. I appreciate that, if that’s what he did.”
