[1] But Ruth was still hitting HRs at the very end! Just not as many or as often. He his 22 HRs in his next to last year (wow!), and 6 in his last season, but in only 72 ABs.

[2] I wonder how often we will see Jeter around next year? Any “special instructor” roles. Visits to the Stadium, etc. I imagine not a lot. He has said he wants to “own” not manage a team.

[3] No comment about Selig. Good luck to both him and Derek.

[2] Are you talking about Derek or Bud Selig? I would imagine the latter would be a loud “good riddance” in most corners >;)

Derek will have a great life going forward. This season was mostly about his farewell. I realize it is bad form to say enough is enough. But I’m glad it is over and look forward to a new team. It is not hard to say goodbye when you have plenty of money and realize for sure that you cannot play anymore. Davis Island in Tampa is not a bad place to live. The airport is nearby and the weather is fine. Expect that he will surprise us with his activities in the future. Good luck Bud.

I guess it’s not as bad as the end of Babe Ruth’s career.
