"At the plate the Yankee captain walked, lined out and grounded out against ex-major leaguer Raul Valdez, a lefty whose fastball topped out at 85 mph. But the question isn’t so much if Jeter will hit again for the Yankees as whether he can play short at age 39, coming back from a broken ankle that he rebroke during spring training.
In Jeter’s mind, there are no questions to answer. He says he has pushed himself enough during workouts and simulated games in Tampa to believe he could play shortstop in the Bronx on Sunday if the Yankees would let him."
Of course, ARod's 0-for-2 was not greeted with the same general insouciance.
I get it by now, ARod has been unpopular for a very long time, largely for his off-field antics.
I mean, what kind of narcissistic prick poses nude in a sports magazine?
