I don't see him ever willing to be anything other than The Yankee Shortstop. I think that title and the rings mean more to him than Pete's record. Since he won't play short into his 40s without being a detriment to the team I doubt he hangs around and embarrasses himself. His place in baseball history has been established. As soon as he is no longer to play the 6 he will exit with the same class he has displayed his whole career. I hate the Yankees but respect Jeter much more than the tragic comedy Pete has become.
