There isn't an athlete on this planet that is more respected. I have never seen anyone go out on top of his game the way he's doing. He strikes guys out and they say Thank you..lol..the way he gets applauded on the road is just a joy to watch. The guy is just so likable, and never had a blemish on his record, off the field or on it..
makes you proud to be a YANKEE FAN!!
He exudes a regal class about him few modern athletes exhibit.
A HOF career with one team, the best ever at his position, a handful of rings, and full dignity.
Jeter is on a similar trajectory.
True professionals!
It will be sad if it ends like this, although a rough week against an unreal hitter does not a sad exit make, I know.
Still, I had painful flashbacks of watching John Wetteland closing way back in the pre-Rivera days...
