Although I equate rooting for the Yankees to rooting for the IRS, and the endless stream of mercenaries and sell-outs are very distasteful, and Goerge Steinbrenner is an aboniation - I find it very hard to dislike Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. Jeter is unquestionably clutch/winner/intangibles whatever you want to call it, and Rivera has been the most powerful weapon in the game over the last 15 years. Both guys are also classy, and likeable off the field (although Jeter's perfume deal was a crack in his armor). I would take either of them on my team any time.

WOW - that wasn't as painful as I thought it would be!
