Derek Jeter Respect

Derek Jeter’s Last Home Game….Amazin!!! – A NY Met Fan…

As a NY Met fan I can always look to the Bronx and find things that I don’t like from the NY Yankees perspective. But one thing holds true, Derek Jeter will always have my respect. Having been born and raised for most of my childhood in Brooklyn, I can tell you that there is probably no better place to play as an athlete than probabaly NY. But the reality is that is also the hardest place to play in and perform well at. It simply is not the best place for some athletes. But when you have grace, style, passion, professionalism, and talent, if you make it happen there, then you have another Derek Jeter.

The truth is that he will probably be forgotten once the next great Yankee comes around, and he will. But watching Jeter play all these years, and collecting his cards like I have, I think he will be one of these never truly forgotten. Congratulations Derek!
