Gehrig was the first to have his number retired; Jeter's #2 will be the last of the single-digits. And he's almost certain to join Gehrig in the HoF eventually.)all the starting 1Bs.

After that game, I had a friend who was all gung-ho to do up a diagram of that play, get it printed onto t-shirts with "WWJD? - What Would Jeter Do?" beneath it, and sell them out of the back of a van at the Stadium. For various reasons, it didn't happen.the Jeter Flip game.

derFunkenstein wrote:No, I don't think so, I just am kind of surprised he doesn't want to play the field. I "get" that hey, he played SS last at Yankee Stadium or whatever, but at the same time, the dude is a fierce competitor. I was just surprised he'd want to limit his last 3 games that way.
