Jeter keeps the faith

Pear is a shape.

 

Rose didn't hit well enough to DH. Besides, he would've had to resign as Reds manager and go to the AL even if he was able to hit.

 

No, this was just in the NY Times a few days ago.

Very few players - at any age - are capable of having the kind of season Jeter had last year.

 

Yes, and in the story, it harked back to a convo from 8 years ago!

 

Eight years ago Jeter was 30. I find it hard to believe he only expected to hang on until age 40. He will be 39 this year and he still contends for batting titles. There is also the MVP award that has eluded him so far.

 

Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

 

Jeter's physique has not changed since he entered the league. He is a true athlete, not a muscle-bound slugger.

 

Lance Armstrong's physique didn't change either.

 

Yes, but there were also numerous teammates that accused him of doping. There hasn't even been a hint of a rumor about Jeter.

 

Oh for fuck's sake. From the Harvey Araton story in question:




But Gene Michael, who has been watching Jeter here longer than anyone, couldn’t help glancing back.

A conversation they once had was fresh on his mind and certainly took on a whole new dimension given the high stakes drama as Jeter, 38 until June 26, switches focus from the career marathon to a six-week sprint; as he races the calendar to meet his stated goal of being in the opening day lineup, at shortstop, after breaking his ankle in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series four months ago.

“We’re sitting in the training room — seven years ago, maybe eight — and he says, ‘Hey, Stick, how many more years do you think I could play?’ ” said Michael, once a rail-thin shortstop and hence, the nickname.

 

Of course not. Ever since he killed that hooker in the clubhouse back in '05, ain't nobody ratting out Jetes.
Nobody.
