First Rivera, now Jeter.....sad days ahead of us Yankee fans.
Someone is going to have some big shoes to fill at SS.

Its weird, I'm 30 and Jeter has been playing for all my adult life and although I'm not a Yankees fan it will be weird to turn on a Yankees game and he isn't at least part of the team.

Not a Yankee fan, or a fan of the way they conduct business....I have to say Jeter is a class act....great ballplayer who could have played for any team in the past, which cant be said of most modern athletes...he will never be replaced, but im sure Cashman will buy the best he can afford...Jeter will be missed, as we grow older we see many who have retired, it is just a few we always compare as the best ever....

Die hard Rays fan, but will really miss #2. Derek was a good as it gets, not a lot that I can add as a fan that hasn't been said about him, but I think the sport was better for having him a part of it.

Jeter needs these number of hits this season to go closer to the all time hit list.

4 hits = pass Molitor for 9th all time
104 hits = pass Yaz for 8th all time
105 hits = pass Honus Wagner for 7th All time
120 hits = pass Cap Anson for 6th all time
199 hits = pass Tris Speaker for 5th all time

Never cared for the Yankees but always liked watching Jeter play the game. I found it funny a couple of years ago people were actually saying Derek had a shot at breaking Pete's hit record... Pete said it could never happen and of course got flack for it. Playing shortstop all those years is pretty impressive. Hope he goes out with a bang! Never did see him play in person (Reds country). Maybe I will make the trip to NY this year when they play.
