It fills article space and generates phone calls for talk radio. Yankees made the playoffs anyway, ’cause that’s what good teams do.

Derek Jeter is a hall of fame player. One of the best ever. Time catches up with everyone, but he is the kind of athlete that is at the far end of the bell curve. The HOFers are the exceptions. The rules and laws of averages don’t apply as easily. They are – by definition – different.

For goodness sake, let the man play.
