Some weekend editor for the NY Post tries to get a rise out of Jeter fans.
The thing is, this guy doesn't really follow sports.
The other thing is, it's not really that difficult to find Jeter detractors.
But of all the attacks, this has got to be one of the oddest:
"In the second-to-last Subway Series game, Jeter came out for a pregame warmup with a video crew.
A cameraman furiously backpedaled while contorting his body to such an extreme to get that all-important low-angle shot — creating that larger than life 'Jeterian' image of the captain taking the field.
Jeter began running sprints in left field as his video entourage was told by security guards it could not be on the playing field. So, rather than warm up on the infield, the Yankee shortstop had a soft toss in front of the visitors dugout, which gave total access to the filmmakers.
With each successive throw, Jeter moved farther and farther down the left-field line while adoring Yankee fans looked on.
More perfect shots for a final-season homage."
"It’s only May, and it’s already getting ridiculous. How many times can we say goodbye?
I have a no doubt that this holiday season Steiner Sports will be offering Jeter memorabilia, including a three-hour documentary highlighting the Farewell Tour (only $19.95!).
Perhaps I will be included in crowd shot; I’ll be the one with the look of disdain on his face."
You'll be the one who nobody is paying attention to.
