Derek Jeter Announces that he will retire this year
Just read that Derek Jeter has announced that 2014 will be his last season as a player. I hope he will go out with a good year but not sure I like the phenomenon of a farewell tour that seems to have developed in baseball a la Chipper Jones and Mariano Rivera. Thoughts?

I don't mind farewell tours at all, gives the fans a chance all season to see him knowing for sure it's the last time. This one brings a tear to my eye as Jeter has been my favorite Yankee since "The Hit Man". Obviously as a fan I hope he goes out with a bang, big season with big numbers and one final WS ring

I think the whole farewell tour thing is pretty cool.
I'm a Red Sox fan, but I'll miss Jeter. I never bought the " greatest ever" stuff, he's great but the Yankees have had so many truly great players I just can't put him there. But while I loved getting into the "Nomars better" chant, I have to admit that he's one of the Yankees it was hard to actually dislike. He played the game right, with a bit of old fashioned recklessness. Like the crash into the stands in Fenway when he cut his head. Not many modern players would do that. Most wouldn't even have the range to make the play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28NjeVnoORc Steve B |

Just wondering....will the Yankees retire his number while he is still playing?? Maybe during his final homestand?
Has any player ever had his number retired, only to come back and wear it? |
