Derek Jeter

Tonight was Derek Jeter's last game at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees blew a 3 run lead in the 9th inning to set up one last at bat for Jeter. He hit a single with a man on second to win the game.

If you have watched this man play baseball for the last 20 years like myself, you couldn't help but get emotional. It is as if the baseball gods wrote the script perfectly.

It was great growing up watching one of the greatest players of all time play for my favorite team. From Yankees, baseball, and sports fans everywhere: Thank you, Derek.

 

Definitely. Save it for 6 years when he is eligible for the Hall of Fame. He will get in on the first ballot. Depends on how old you are but if you can wait 10+ years ad if cards maintain their value, you could get a pretty big haul from it. But why wait that long? I'll give you 5 bucks right now. No questions asked.

 

Lol that's because MJ was terrible at baseball. He was an above average basketball player though. Get ahold of one of those rookie cards.


Yes, above average is a joke haha

 

Nice man. I got family in Kalamazoo. Cool name for a city too lol.

 

Oh? Name a player that deserves it more than him.

 

It's thanking a player for setting a good example for young fans, for playing a sport the way it should be played, and in all honesty making the league a shit load of money. If you have that big of a problem with it....oh I don't know...don't watch?

 

What does it matter? It's called respect. If you've ever played a sport, you know how hard it is and respect people who excel at it. He has done great thongs for more than just the Yankees. He puts fans in the seas everywhere he goes.

That is part of it too. If you're a baseball fan from KC and you know you're never going to be able to see someone like Jeter play again, you will be willing to pay extra for that ticket. It's sad but a lot of the league's motivation for farewell tours is driven by the revenue.

I don't know how much of the intricacies of the payroll of MLB teams you know but it only makes sense for every team to do something special for him.

It's just thanking him for what he has done for the sport. Im sorry you feel the way you do.
Haha I said great thongs

 

Lol yeah I'm on my iPod so my typing is pretty bad sometimes.

 

Well I'm a Knick fan so Reggie Miller pisses me off lol. They were both great players plus I was a little too young to full understand sports the way I do now when Reggie did the "choke." but I've learned enough to know that us NYK fans don't take kindly to Reggie and the Pacers lol.
