The man who raised me. I miss watching him play. Poetry in motion. Played hard every moment he was out there. Played with honor and respect. Never cheated himself or the game. Wasnt perfect but he was a critical player on some perfect championship teams. Mr. November!
Derek Jeter nearly won the 2006 AL MVP when he hit .343/.417/.483 (.900 OPS) with 14 HR and 97 RBI.
Here's him going 5-for-5 with a homer and 2 doubles in Game 1 of the 2006 ALDS 🫡
This is what pisses me off about the Soto situation:
For years all everyone knew was that he wanted the bag. Ok np. All yanks gotta do is throw it at him. They did.
This offseason: we find out actually it will take some extra benefits for family & to be THE FACE of his team.
@BayAreaTrev 1. Soto hasnt won an mvp
2. Soto wants his money now, not later which severely limits teams and yes that even includes the dodgers
3. Everyone hated when the yankees did this but now its encouraged?? No “evil empire” moniker huh, no narratives of “buying championships”?
You know who never lost a WS as a manager?
That analyst for YES, u know the one that was fired because be wasnt a FO puppet and lost game 7 of the ALCS to a cheating team
But hey, keep him in the booth where he can identify the teams problems to everyone but the Yanks
@Jomboy_ Its even more laughable when you recall that this time last year the yanks Front Office conducted internal audits…that we never heard the results on. I guess the WS showed us
You are seeing why Jeter can never be called overrated. All that dude did was consistently perform in Oct...win 5 titles ...WS MVP in a subway series...make every big play imaginable. It takes a special player to do that.
