I feel the same way.

Me too.

At least he'll go out in a respectable, dignified manner, unlike someone who gets a 1 year suspension.

Hope this will be a good season for him. I agree, he is a class act and I always thought he is really quite handsome.

Hi neighbor, Smiley Happy

Are you ready for the snowmageddon? I hope it is snow and not ice or freezing rain mixed with snow.

I kind of thought this might be his last season. He was out most of last season with injury after injury.

The Core Four is not the Core One. After this year..............no more. Smiley Sad

I just hope the Yankees stay healthy, are competitive and make the World Series.

Hi Donna! We're expecting 12-15 inches..ugh!

I hope the Yankees stay healthy too.

We're getting rain Wink

I forgot to say good luck to Derek Jeter{#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

And my favorite ex-Mariner (next to John Jaso), Brendan Ryan, has done a fantastic job at short stop. The Mariners were stupid idiots to trade him away.

I agree, Jeter is a classy guy.

...has announced that the upcoming season will be his last:

I worked with his mom for many years while he was growing up, and it really, truly was his dream to be a New York Yankee. Derek and his sister Sharlee were the only kids that ever actually asked permission before they helped themselves to the candy dish in my office. Smile

He's a great guy from an even greater family and I hope he has a fabulous farewell season!

That's so interesting that you knew Derek and his family. Good to know he was always mannerly and nice. He seems like such a gent. He will be missed, for sure.

Frosty, thanks for the info. It is good to know people who know the family confirm what the rest of us hope is true.

End of an era for the Yankees.

Ok, this isn't easy to say, but give me a minute ....

"This Boston Red Sox fan thinks Derek Jeter is one of the good guys! "

Ok, I'm ducking from the Boorish Sox fans who wear the T-shirts and chant all the anti-Jeter stuff. They are just plain rude.

A REAL Baseball fan knows a good player when they see him even if he is the enemy.

Hope to get to see him play at Fenway this year.

This Red Sox fan agrees with you 100%! Derek Jeter is a class act all the way. And so is Jorge Posada.

Waving hi to LB and soxfan, two of my favorite Red Sox fans.

I agree, LB. A real fan can appreciate and acknowledge a good player from another team.

soxfan, ITA about Posada.

Mo is another gem!!

I so hope the Yankees stay healthy and are competitive this year. Looking forward to our teams playing one another. Smiley Happy

Spring training is upon us!! Can't wait for the games to begin!!

Hope you are both well. Smiley Happy
