Certainly that matters, though a lot of that has to do with the luck of being with a team that could afford to pay him like a star, and then to overpay him in his dotage. A lot of teams couldn't have enabled that without the player taking a significant discount (Tony Gwynn).

I think Jeter is getting lots of attention because he stayed on the same team for 20 years! Those are the players who get the accolades. Yankees fans watched him for 2 decades. When you think of yankees, you think Jeter. Tigers= Cabrera. There are very few one team careers anymore. There are tons of better careers out…

Really looks like "Don't be an asshole" here. But maybe I'm just hoping too hard.

where's the Tony Gwynn tribute?

I fuck bitches and hit doubles off a tee

are you really going down this road? He leads the Yankees organization in hits, over guys like Mantle and DiMaggio and Ruth. There is nothing overrated about him. Your argument is fucking tired.

Wainwright was so awestruck by Jeter that he also grooved pitches to Trout and Cabrera.

I am SHOCKED that Waino would so readily admit toying with NL home field advantage. All-star game is srs bsns!

Of course Bud is friends with George Will. They're co-captains of he old codger tiddlywinks team.

"Start clapping."

I like Selig's twist on Roger Goodell's "You can't boo me, I'm standing next to a veteran with a puppy" technique—"Why boo me? Here's George Will."

Its kind of like West Side Story.

it has got to stop.

Are you happy to see me or is that a Schweinsteiger in your pocket!?!

What's that? more goatse logos?

At least they don't need to redesign the logo

Beautiful goal
