Jeter's late night carousing is not a good example for today's kids.
How is that not understood?
Jim Rice took the racial taunts, endured villification by the press and saved a kids life at a ball game.
Not to mention almost 400 home runs without roids!
It's too bad he threw Jeters name in with Manny the super geek but talk about over-reaction by posters, this is the thread!
If you want to know how great a guy Jim Rice is, just ask Fred Lynn. Don't ask the sissy sportswriters that mis-quoted him so many times he finally stopped talking to them.
Most of today's players are spoiled brats that don't know how to play the game. They would rather not show up a player on another team than win a game. Jim Rice is right and the situation is getting worse.
SOXNOLE pretty much summed it up!
End of Discussion!
