Derek Jeter to retire

[jekelish]

...after 2014. This will be his last season.

Will the Otesaga take a 2019 reservation?

Just saw that the last regular season game of his career - and maybe his last game ever - will be at Fenway on 9/28.

Yeah I'm guessing that game will have some insanely high priced tickets on StubHub.

Here's his good bye letter in which he announced it:

Yankees infield in need of serious overhaul. Any replacements in farm system?

Very classy, as one would expect.

And so goes the last Yankee legendary type of player.Will there ever be another with our lifetime? Probably not in mine. Good luck for you all. I think I called the year he would retire by saying he wouldn't come out for 2015. Will he coach own or be a voice in the booth?

I hate the Yankees, but I respect the heck out of Jeter. Not quite Cal, but very close. Very few players can make great teams better, by their abilities and leadership, but he was one. Every accolade he receives in the coming year will be deserved. Well done. Next stop, upstate New York.

Wrong board.

Any of these guys any good? Yankee farm system has not been so hot lately. I hope you are right but I expect the new Yankee infield will be made up of a bunch of guys over the hill obtained in free agency.

The probability that some dickhead HOF voter will not vote for him on the first ballot and that he will not go into the HOF with a unanimous vote is about 99%

99%? It's 100%. Some people didn't vote for Greg Maddux

I thought there might be a tiny chance that the voters would show some common sense.
You're probably right.

I think we really need to turn over the voting population until we get to that point. Too many idiots who won't vote for someone on the first ballot

Jeter just hit a batting practice homer. And there is much rejoicing.

Thank you to him
