Jeter in my mind and many others is the equal or superior to the memory of other Yankee legends. His talent is overshadowed by his personality that is beyond a reason to smile and admire.Even mantle who I grew up with as the Yankee great I had the pleasure to watch and marvel at his ability . I discovered that his personality was hardly that of a good guy who understood his role in the game and as a part of the so-called "American pastime" I heard from too many friends and acquaintances about chance encounters with Mantle that really showed him off poorly . None of those friends or acquaintances are the kind of people that I wouldn't trust or be the cause for reactions that might be far less than PC. There will be an additional moment with Derek to show his classy state of being . When he is inducted into the HOF on the first ballot.
