The Yankees do nothing for their fans but suck their blood. It's sad but it's true. How many "3000 hit" t-shirts, baseballs, mugs, commemorative plaques, hats, etc. were on sale within minutes after Derek got the hit? The Yankees -- and Jeter -- are going to make zillions off it and they are the last on earth who need more money. And yet this poor kid is only getting his 15 minutes? And some signed items? How about Derek's signature on a check? I know it's unseemly to turn this just into a money grab...but isn't that what the Yankees do to us 365 days a year? Why shouldn't turnabout be fair play? Just one time!
