RE2PECT



My first interest in baseball was in 1961 when Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle were having a big slugfest in Yankee Stadium. I was eight. But my first real team was the Boston Red Sox.  I don’t like the Yankees at all.  Even worse than the Yankees are Yankees fans. 

But I love Derek Jeter.  What’s not to love about him. My favorite place in the infield is second base/short stop. He is a great Short Stop. He is a great hitter.  In 20 years, he’s never given us a scandal. Thank you Derek Jeter for what you bring to baseball.  You will be missed.

I am not one to give plugs for corporate monsters like Nike.  But their Re2pect video is the best tribute to Jeter I have ever seen.  Check it out. It is a Nike collection to honor the Captain.
