You might be a bit off with your call there.

He threw his same fastball he’s thrown all year and Jeter tattooed it….

After a performance like that, in a moment like that, you have to respect that as an opposing pitcher.

I don’t buy that Price grooved one to Captain Jeets but someone else might be motivated to consider doing something like that in the future. That said, Jeter’s accomplishment is likely to create more memorabilia than just about any other approaching counting stat milestone. I don’t think Mike Bacsik did as well in that department.

First of all the all-star game is a joke. If ball players don’t want to go or want to rest their minor injuries, they should be able to without criticism. For me, a long time baseball fan, I don’t care about the allstar game, it’s a farce. I don’t want anyone on my team to get injured playing in an exhibition game. The allstar game was the lowest rated game in television history. Another stupid thing is the home run derby. Who would want to stay home and watch this non-event?
If a fan wants to buy something that is autographed then he has that right. I don’t blame the ballplayers for autographing baseballs if someone is interested in buying them. I’m not into hero worshiping but you have to admit that kids looking up to Derek Jeter is better than kids looking up to someone who is a druggie or womanizer.

It’s only the second time someone has hit a HR for #3000 (Wade Boggs)
I’m skeptical.
