A short Gwynn tribute would have been fitting. Think they had something quick for Kiner.
IMO Fox's sports coverage has always been outclassed by the other big 3 networks. Not that ABC/CBS/NBC are perfect, but I prefer their lesser produced broadcasts. Fox has stuff like that stupid dancing robot and sound effects in football highlights.. they use their football music for baseball games and their lead announcers (Joe Buck especially) and reporters (Erin Andrews, Ken Rosenthal) just annoy me. I have old NBC WS broadcasts taped, like Game 6 of the '86 WS, and NBC was so classy. Costas reporting, Vin Scully doing play by play, minimal production (no idea why sports is so overproduced now), and a great little baseball theme/intro song.

Agree 100% ... and now they've turned me against Jeter. What an overblown "jeter' night.

Being at the game last night I can attest to the fact that there wasn't any tribute to Gwynn at the game and outside of a couple of standing ovations there was nothing special done for Jeter. It was amazing seeing all of that talent on the field at one time. The next game I go to will have Sam Fuld and Oswaldo Arcia instead of Stanton or McCutchen, pretty depressing.

I hope the next long-time Yankee that decides to retire, does it at the end of the season so every moment doesn't become a "hey look at me" moment. It really does make you hate the player because you hear about him the entire season, same for Rivera last year. It's probably worse when you are local, so people not around NY might not be getting the full brunt of it all season, but it's really annoying to those people that aren't fans. You can't just say well turn it off, because that would mean turning off everything and as someone who writes about baseball for a living, that's not an option.
We get it, he was a good player for a long time, somewhere in the 7-10 range for all-time Yankees, which is an amazing group to be with. Don't suffocate us with him ALL.THE.TIME.
