Way to go Jeter

I'm not much of a Yankee fan either TRhit, but my family respects him on and off the diamond too. Our six year old Lab is named Jeter, and I'm sure there are plenty of other family pets that have taken his name the past decade! Congrat's to him, it is well deserved!

As we just found out with Tiger, it's a really bad idea to idolize another human being.

However, for his on-the-field exploits, Derek Jeter cannot be beat.

Congrats Derek, you're a class act.

And he can't go wrong dating Kate Hudson! hubba hubba.

Um, I thought that was A-roid?

I don't mind looking up to these great players such as Jeter or Tiger because in all honesty, the media will always find a pessimistic approach for these men or women. As long as they know how to play their role fairly and justly, what goes on in their lives is solely their own business. We'd had to be within proximity of their lives to understand the whole story and not depend on the media to rub in all the minor details and leave out the rest.

You know you are getting old, when you went to school with Kate Hudson's Mom, Goldie Jean Hawn.

Jeter....A-Rod....heck...they're both Yankees.

I was close enough wasn't I?

What exactly did Tiger Woods do wrong? You are just like everyone else out there who believes everything they read. It's not bad to idolize another person, because that's what aspirations and dreams are.

A person can idolize a human being because we aspire to be like those who are the best at their craft. We are not going to go aspire to be R2D2. Also, it's human to error. I'm not saying that Woods did anything wrong, but when athletes do take a misstep is reminds us that they are human after all.

The only man I ever idolized, if you could call it that, was my father, God rest his soul

Jeter dates better looking women.
Didn't Arod go out with Madonna? ick. I'm not even going to say what I really think but it has to do with penicillin.

Interesting points in the SI article.

Jeter is the first Yankee to earn this honor.

Tiger Woods is the only two-time winner. Third will probably have to wait awhile.
