He did everything the right way, which can't be said of my favorite players...that's for sure! LOL<br />20 years at SS for the same team is, in it self, a monumental feat.<br />I believe there should be of a new era in Yankee history, for the 2000's and on. The game to-day has little resemblance to the game I grew up with! The fans are different, the parks...hell damn near everything has changed the way the game is played to-day. <br />Back in the day, did you know the way a hitter was out, was to hit him with the ball! Of course, that was a year or two before my time! The days of the "Gas House Gang", 40 game winners...even 30 game winners...all gone.<br />As of this week I will not make comparisons to the Greatest Yankees Pre-2000!<br />You do know as Jeff put it, very well (except for the end), 40 years from now you guys will have the same discussions about another player! Good luck, "what one has never seen, can't be explained", more to the point..."what one will not believe, is unexplainable"!<br />So, believe it or not, I have always liked Jeter as a player and have said time and again, "He is the greatest SS the Yankees have ever had. Or one of the best two SS! Forgive me "Scooter", you were great for your time, but time moves on, and you ain't no more!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.com
