Louisville Slugger Retiring the P72 Model in Honor of Jeter

[ironmanfan]

I suppose they didn't consider doing this when Ripken retired since he had tinkered with other models & brands over his career:

2014 will be the last year that the Louisville slugger will be calling the bat Jeter uses the P72. Starting 2015 they will honor Derek Jeter calling it "the DJ2". They let him order the very last batch ever produced of the P72 to use as he pleases. Pretty cool

And I would take ARod over Jeter any day, as well. I still don't, to this day, understand why ARod didn't insist on playing SS when the Yankees acquired him. Derek Jeter wasn't even the best SS on the Yankees, let alone in all of baseball.

This Jeter hero worship is ridiculous
The best future HOF player on the Yankees is Ichiro. He destroys Jeter in nearly every lifetime offensive and defensive category. Jeter is the most overrated player I have ever seen.

Because Arod respected Jeter and knew it was his team/position.

This is the only I have ever agreed with Keith Olbermann, I can't stand Olbermann. But this time the is right on the money.

Statistics aside, I think what people fail to recognize is Jeter, along with Rivera, spent their entire career with the storied Yankees. Not too many players in the modern era can lay claim to playing for one team, especially the Yankees.
