Can't understand it.
But in regards to Jeter, to me he is the only current player in baseball that I could see playing in the golden era of baseball. From the time he was a child he wanted to play for the Yankees. He has tremendous pride and loyalty to the team. He puts his team first. Plays because he wants to play. Doesn't show off, doesn't create any nonsense outside of the game, and is just an all around class act.
