SPORTSMANSHIP
Some people might have a different idea on what an All around player is. I have always had talk about who or what the definition is. You might even call it ARGUMENTS.
Since Derek Jeter has been in the league he has been nothing than PERFECT. Four Rings in his first 5 years. He doesn't't just make clutch hits in big games, and make great saves in the field to stop rally's by other teams, He is the a GREAT SPORTSMAN. He symbolizes what ball player should be, great on and off the field. He doesn't't argue with the umpire after a bad call, he just uses that to strive to WIN.
If my kids were to have a ROLE MODEL in baseball, I would think they would pick MR. Yankee Derek Jeter. One thing I can't understand how the league can't reward Jeter in voting him as the MVP. But I guess winning the World Series is better than a MVP. He is a stand up guy. I true professional in all facets of the game.
When I played youth sports, I was really completive, I hated to lose like anyone (in professional sports) At this time in my life I am trying to teach my kids to have self-confidence, but also have the winning edge. At the same time win with grace, and also lose with the same grace. Not to be a BAD SPORT, like Derek Jeter, when he wins, He wins with total GRACE, but when he loses he goes out with total SPORTSMANSHIP.
ONCE AGAIN, NO SPANKIN FROM MY BROTHER...SORRY, BUT STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT STORY FROM...............YANKEE SPANK

The problem for the Yanks has been that they’ve yet to receive a quality start from anyone. Without ace Chien-Ming Wang, the staff has looked very shaky. Aside from the poor pitching outings which has already taxed an improved pen, the fielding has been even worse. Robinson Cano’s drop of a pop-up was the Yanks’ eighth error in five games. Derek Jeter has also made three errors - FAR FROM PERFECT. It doesn’t help team morale when you can’t make the routine plays. Maybe it’s the cold weather but they need to pick it up quickly - the schedule is about to get very tough. What are your opinions on Johnny Damon? Do you think getting him back in the lineup will make any difference?
Friday 13th, watch out for BAD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Winning the world series is not better than being MVP. There are 100's of players with world series rings but only 1 MVP a year, hence the name....MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. If you want to call yourself an expert, you need to get your facts straight. Wrong on the facts equals non entry equals story from your childhood.
