It's been really fun to be a New Yorker through most of his career and an NYY fan for the whole thing.

[opie1988]

You're crazy. Maybe the guy sacrificed having a family early because he was committed to his baseball career. Try stepping out on that field 162 days a year plus pre-season, plus all the traveling involved; it's like sacrificing your life and I'm sure there were plenty of days that there were aches and pains and he didn't feel like flying to Seattle or Minnesota.

The guy did everything the right way which adds to his statistics, making him a better player than he really was. I don't love seeing players making millions but in Derek's case, I can live with it.

The guy didn't have a family because he loves pus*y.(can't blame him)

Sacrificing your life being an athlete? What do you call having to work a real job for 45 years?

[jjgold]

Sacrifice that was the dumbest thing I've ever read an SBR

He did not sacrifice anything in life

He was a money hungry guy

People that play sports don't sacrifice anything

Talk to me about military guys that have lost their lives fighting

Funniest thread I've ever read in my life

You guys are not living in reality

Playing pro sports is a privleldge and no sacrifice

Baseball is a GRIND---20 Years-7 days a week for -6 months+plus pre season+ post season--no breaks--hotels-- He's not 20 now, he's 40. I'm sure he wants a family.

[jjgold]

He made $200 million
Huh???

He could have a family easily most major-league players do

Please stop would sacrifice

If were talking about poor people a lot of them make sacrifices to help their families

Don't equate Jeter to making sacrifices of any kind

Only thing I know he was a Yankee legend and first ballot Hall of Famer with unreal accomplishments

Making millions playing a game is hard? Wow. Try crawling thru burning buildings for 30 years just to pay the bills.

99.9% of people go to work 262 times a year. Try being a coal miner or on iron worker for a day.

The guy is fukking playing baseball! Something that does not require good physical condition. A monkey can play baseball. It's not that hard.

boner you mush

He does play....his name is prince fielder.

[str]

Thanks for the link Boner.

[Deuce]

Jeter sacrificed nothing. The millions of broke fukkin jerk offs known as Yankee fans did. Breaking their balls and backs to fill Steinbrenner's pockets so he could take the wheelbarrow of cash up to jeters multimillion dollar penthouse in manhattan.

[Deuce]

The video of him walking to the park, blond broad in bar I went to elementary, middle, and high school with. She grew up in my neighborhood. Had to clue just watched and sure as fukk.

[Spedizzo]

dude

he could easily have had a family

he would have to leave them randomly throughout the season when they go on road trips

so what?

no other MLB player has a family?

the guy gave Jessica Alba the herps

don't get me wrong, I like Jeter. good player, reliable, never got into trouble

but praising him because he made sacrifices is silly

I would make the same "sacrifice" in a heart beat if I can make hundreds of millions and bang any broad I want

[jjgold]

Deuce you sound like you want to fuk him??

Hey Chief I have no issues with your sexual behaviors but do not telegraph it

[stevek173]

Coach how bout Boner crying over this garbage? What is that?

[Big Bear]

Jeter will go down as the most overrated player ever.

If he had played for the Kansas City Royals nobody would care that he is retiring.

[Snowball]

Jeter has been riding Yankee coattails a long time
since he was a kid.. the Yankees were such beasts in the 90s
cripes I remember Wade Boggs on that team.
it would be a mistake to over-associate the Yankee crowns
with one player like Jeter.
What if he made a career out of playing 2b for some other average team.
be not fooled.

[TankHankerous]

The best ones are "When you think Derek Jeter one word comes to mind- class"

"You can say a lot about Jeter, but one thing you can't say is that he wasn't a Yankee"

Jeter reeks of baseball tradition, he plays the game Grandpa remembers"

[TwoWays]

He will go out with a whimper. Finally the rays felt sorry enough for him that Cobb screwed a soft one down the middle so jeter could break out of his 0-100 hitless steeak

[Deuce]

Deuce you sound like you want to fuk him??

Hey Chief I have no issues with your sexual behaviors but do not telegraph it

Go back to apex tech and learn how to read you wobble jaw mother fukker.

First thing that comes to mind for me is "Gift Baskets".

[ReconSnarff]

Jeter will go down as the most overrated player ever.

If he had played for the Kansas City Royals nobody would care that he is retiring.

Yeah, and the fact he has almost 3,500 hits means nothing. You're a joke.

[Big Bear]

Yeah, and the fact he has almost 3,500 hits means nothing. You're a joke.

so the fact that he had 3,500 hits means he is exempt from being overrated?

People talk about him like he was as good as Barry Bonds or Tony Gwynn and he is simply not on that level.

[tony_come]

He was who we thought he was

We let him off the hook

[rcene]

[44 Mag]

We can't miss him if he won't go away.

[rcene]

Great commercial.

Gonna miss Jeter.

I think he should have replaced Selig. Guy is a true pro in everything he does.

[pattymayo]

so the fact that he had 3,500 hits means he is exempt from being overrated?

People talk about him like he was as good as Barry Bonds or Tony Gwynn and he is simply not on that level.

5 people in the history of MLB have more hits than Derek Jeter

You cannot be overrated when you are 6th all time in hits
