next year's Old Timers game at Yankee Stadium will be awesome...
AROD and Tex in it, hopefully Jeter plays as well

To be fair, Serena was not a top 10 tennis player until like 1999 or 2000. I'm not sure we can call her great in the mid 90's.
She started her pro career in 1997. That's close enough. Maybe Venus would be a better example to use. But I started following tennis in 1997 when Hingis was dominating so Serena's basically been there for the entirety of my tennis viewing career. Same thing with A-Rod and Kobe and Duncan and Manning. I remember watching them for pretty much their entire professional careers and in Duncan and Manning's cases, I remember their college careers very vividly as well. Now they're all gone.

Don't tell me this photo doesn't make you feel old.

Jeter seriously looked the same at the end of his career as he did at the onset.

He needs four more home runs to reach 700.. If I'm him I'm playing until I reach 700

Not sure anyone would want him at this point, especially if it's just to play until he hits 4 more home runs.

Also, fun fact on A-Rod: Butch Davis once told me he was good enough at football to be an NFL QB. Quit as a junior to focus on baseball

Yeah, I don't think 700 is any type of special milestone. If he was close to 714, it might be a different story because topping Babe Ruth in home runs is still a huge achievement. 700 is just another number.

takes two to tango.
no one would sign Arod

someone will sign him if he wanted, plenty of teams would take the chance since the Yankees would be paying him.

The year before, Griffey pulled a subtler prank on another teammate: Alex Rodriguez, then an 18-year-old rookie shortstop who, like Griffey, had been the top pick in the draft. Griffey enlisted Seattle’s trainer, Rick Griffin, to convince Rodriguez that the club’s stars—including [Jay] Buhner and Randy Johnson—were involved in a scheme to sell their sperm to the highest bidder, as if they were thoroughbred stallions, and that Rodriguez might himself attract an appreciable stud fee. He brought in a fake doctor. “Dude, you got great genes,” Griffey told the rookie. The callow Rodriguez was skeptical at first. Then he started to come around. “How much money do you think we could make?” he asked. Griffey, mercifully, pulled the plug before donations were to be harvested. “Everybody has rookie hazing,” he says. “That was his.”

A number that only 3 guys in the history of the sport have achieved. No big deal though, you're right

Someone explain to me why they aren't just waiting to the end of the season? Especially with the chase for 700, I guess I just don't understand

If nothing else it could boost a smaller market team that's out of it's attendance

In the last 12 months, A-Rod, Kobe, Duncan and Manning have retired. The only great mid-90s athletes left are Tiger (who's pretty much done), Kevin Garnett (also pretty much done), Jaromir Jagr and Serena. A-Rod's retirement is really start to feel like the end of an era.
Add Jeff Gordon to the list, too.
Duncan was BARELY mid-90's, though.

The Yankees must really hate him not to let him keep playing to get to 700, kinda fricked up honestly
