I am a Red Sox fan from my toes to my brain but this man just captured
me. Derek Jeter, as Brian Williams said on the evening news last night, will walk into the Hall of Fame.
I haven't read about this game winning at bat last night, Jeter's last at Yankee Stadium after a storied career because I
want to see it on TV today.
This veteran Yankee great of all greats in
league with Ruth, Gehrig, and DiMaggio ends his baseball career in storybook fashion. Even
I, with Red Sox in my blood, love him. In these days of sports and world corruption he shines like an angel -- a principled, man. I am crying just
reading the first paragraph about the game last evening. I am sure I will be a puddle of tears when
I see it on TV this morning.
Good for you Derek Jeter for giving the nation your best and
for giving it a much needed moment about which to cheer for a good and honorable man. What a breath of
fresh air he is amid all the bickering, anger and violence of the nation and the world.
He never married because he felt he could not give a
family and children the necessary attention his big career demanded.
Even that is the soul of a great man. He wants to marry and have a family now and I suspect he will have no trouble finding one. The woman who
shares your life, Derek Jeter, will be a lucky one. Good luck to you. This Red Sox fan says thank you very much
for delivering the wining run of your final game in the House that Ruth
Built. It is a symbolic winning moment of your entire winning life!!
