I think the whole farewell tour thing is pretty cool.
I'm a Red Sox fan, but I'll miss Jeter. I never bought the "
greatest ever" stuff, he's great but the Yankees have had so many truly great players I just can't put him there.
But while I loved getting into the "Nomars better" chant, I have to admit that he's one of the Yankees it was hard to actually dislike. He played the game right, with a bit of old fashioned recklessness. Like the crash into the stands in Fenway when he cut his head. Not many modern players would do that. Most wouldn't even have the range to make the play.
