If you would like to be on the ping list let me know.
This will be a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.
Jim Rice is upset.
FANtastic.
What a great player...all around.
That STUD was born in Michigan. God bless him again.
Got it on radio right now.
Tremendous round of applause for a guy that couldn’t deserve it any more!
Congrats to the Cap’n.
Does the syringe get an award, too?
I hope he doesn’t turn up on the list of 104 players who tested positive in 2003.
Sorry to see Lou’s record broken but if it had to be a current Yankee, Jeter is one of the better guys all around.
Godspeed, Mr. Jeter, and thanks for your work ethic and humility.
I hate the Yankees, but tip a hat to one of the greatest palayers of my lifetime, CONGRATS! Jeter deserves a good ovation.
I’m a second-generation Yankee fan. For fans that know his character, that’s the real treat.
He is an example that you would not mind your kids following.
Though a great natural talent, he is known for a work ethic second to none in baseball. It’s the countless hours of practice that you don’t see on TV that really impresses.
Much of that work is things that might seem very minute to a non-player, like not sauntering around during practices - even when the stadium is empty and no one would ever know. And still not sauntering after attaining fame and fortune. When under pressure we do perform to our training, so it’s his tireless effort that pays off in games where inches can make the difference between success and failure. It’s a whole-life dedication to working at being the best - athlete in his case - that one can be.
And the great example for kids is that a world-class ability in any field, from doctor to auto mechanic - goes hand-in-hand with hard work and professionalism.
That nicely humming engine and that seemingly miraculous life-saving surgery don’t happen without a lot of hard work learning and practicing, and then having the integrity to never waiver from the highest standards of conduct.
While I enjoy watching Mr. Jeter play baseball immensely, I take greater pleasure in knowing that he demonstrates this integrity.
Mr August - cant wait to leave for vacation in Sept.
I hate the Yankees but you have to respect Jeter for the way he plays and represents the game. I was thinking its rather amazing that the Yankees never had anyone get 3000 hits. I was think if Gehrig had not gotten ill he probably could have played 4 more season and got say 600 hits (150 a yr) and that would have put him over 3000.
Same with America. No matter what our country does, at least half the world will hate us.
