"It was a great ceremony on Sunday night, with a reverence and respect reminiscent of the closing of the Montreal Forum, beginning with the pre-game treatment of great Yankee stars of the past (Torre and Roger Clemens excluded) to the post-game on-field celebration featuring the current group, led by Jeter.
Most striking were the differences in demeanour between the deeply spontaneous, joyful reactions of the born-and-bred career Yankees, especially Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Robinson Cano, compared to the ho-hum, sheepish looks on the faces of the come-lately mercenary types – especially Alex Rodriguez, with a forced smile, and a very uncomfortable looking Mike Mussina."

"Jeter took charge of the post-game show nicely, but his speech lacked raw emotion.
Of course, that would have been the job of the ever-emotional Torre."

"But he was otherwise occupied in leading his Dodgers to the NL West title, extending his personal post-season streak to 14."
Poor Buck Showalter. It's like he never existed.
