A wise decision, however it plays out.

And there is an asshole who covers the Dodgers who can't wait to leave him off his HOF ballot.

The full announcement:

Does this mean he and A-Rod will never be on the field together again? Sniff...

 

[Michael_ Gee]

That could be a factor in the decision.

Luis Aparicio is the only 39-year-old in MLB history to start at shortstop for a winning team (1973 Red Sox). No one has ever done it at 40, and Jeter turns 40 on June 26.

Whatever will Manky do now?

 

[LongTimeListener]

He has 3,316 career hits. What are the chances he can get to 4,257?

I say 25 percent at the most.

 

[Steak Snabler]

If anyone can get 941 hits in one season, it's Jetes.

It's going to be sad when he's gunned down three-quarters of the way through the season by an international crime syndicate he was chasing, right after having a long conversation with C.C. Sabathia in which he shows pictures of his retirement villa in Key West. "Damnit, it was his last job!" Suzyn Waldman will cry.

 

[Riptide]

The media circus will overwhelm us all.

Somebody on Twitter, I think it was Richard Deitsch, said opposing teams should leave gift baskets in Jeter's locker for his retirement sendoff.

Now we know who'll be given the MVP Award of the 2014 All-Star Game. [/StillBitterMarianoRiveraWonLastYear]

Can someone check on Manky? I'm worried about his well being.

50-50. Either he does it or doesn't

Makes two of us.

Nah, it'll be great for him. Jeter will be easier to stalk when he's not on the road half the year.

 

[Batman]

Where's Manky? Wishing he could be Roger Clemens for just one moment in time.

Oh what a nauseating summer we have to look forward to.
