Take on the Jeter farewell tour

I love Derek Jeter as a baseball player, he has always played the game
the "right" way and will go down in history as one of the best mostly
because of his "clutch" play, great "leadership" with an ability to
always "be in the right place" and renaming completely unflappable on
the "biggest stage". He lead the league in hits and runs scored a
bunch of times and should have had one MVP (1999) and possibly a
second one (2006) but he'll always lead the league in unquantifiable
hyperbole and description you have to put quotes around. He will go
down as the 6th career leader in hits, (3450) 10th in runs scored,
1st in celebrities bedded (Mariah, Alba, Johansson, Minka, Adrianna,
Biel and Minnillo), 1st in postseason hits (200), runs (111),
doubles(32) and triples (5) plus 3rd in postseason homeruns(20) and
fourth in RBI (61)

He has has a great career but these farewell tours are lame. At
every stadium he goes to they give him some lame gift like cowboy
boots or a kayak or a little pony and he stands there an hour before
the game awkwardly smiling and taking a bunch of photos with another
team's owner. What annoys me is that not one team has he balls to
say "screw that, why should we give this ahole anything??" He didn't
do anything for your franchise, he did nothing for your city except
maybe break a few hearts and except for a few female fans who got a
gift that will keep on giving plus a gift bag with a few signed balls,
he should not be honored by your organization.
As a Jets fan, I don't want them to give Tom Brady a Fireman Ed
Jersey, Peyton Manning a snow globe or Stevie Johnson a beach chair
for his spot on the island. I want them to do nothing and then beat
the living crap out of them when the whistle blows. Let other teams
swoon over your superstar, I'm not doing it.

He might be a good dude with his unflappable demeanor and heroics and
notches on his bed post but this entire retirement tour is an
embarrassment.


Yeah Jeets!!!
