The baggy uniforms are old school.

As far as Jeter is concerned he’s probably one of the few big money players who gets my respect. He’s a great all around player and he does seem pretty clean. However there are many many others who are just as good with their own strengths that don’t get the attention of the sports writers.

I base my opinions on the Detroit Tigers who have had a less than exceptional season with exceptional results. They’ve had no real winning streaks and no real losing streaks but have managed to hold the division lead since May. (Tied with the white sox for one game) I attribute their success to a lot of guys who can put the ball into play and the fact that Jim Leyland is one of the best managers in the game.

Agreed. Granderson is a favorite of mine. And I watched Maggs play two seasons of AAA ball here in Nashville before he came up with the White Sox.
