I can't understand that either. Jeter is a great baseball player and has a lot of heart. A-Rod is phenomenal, and the rest, outside of Giambi, are also outstanding ballplayers. Even Giambi is coming around, I mean I haven't heard him whine for the past two years, and that's quite surprising. I realize the club is flush with talent, but besides the early nineties, when have they not been? Even during The great Lou Gehrig's days they had a roster full of all stars.
I think it has to do with the element of time. Those who dominated the past become our heroes. Those who dominate the present become our enemies.
