While I don’t deny that Derek Jeter is a worthy candidate for Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year, and that it’s an incredible accomplishment considering he is the first New York Yankee to win the award since it began in 1954, my cynical nature disagrees with the belief that he should receive the credit alone for [...]

I would think that his slugging percentage is well below that of the man from [...]

Now that Derek Jeter has passed the great and legendary Lou Gehrig on the list of all-time hits by a New York Yankee, let the unabashed and shameless Slobber-fest begin. All throughout the day on Thursday & Friday of last week (BTW, Jeter tied the record on Wednesday with three hits and then broke it [...]

[Editor's note: Although I never feel like I can recreate a better article than a professional, I especially didn't feel that way in this case. All the credit goes to Anthony DiComo of mlb.com. Enjoy!] The chase is now complete. With a single in the third inning against the Orioles, Derek Jeter recorded the 2,722nd [...]
