re: Derek Jeter gets his number retired today in the Bronx

See it's like you're allergic to talking about titles it's really bizarre. See most players at least once have teams that can be elite but actually getting it done takes special players. That's why Arod hit under .200 most of his post season life while Jeter excelled. Why doesn't it matter that Jeter and the Yankees beat those great Mariners teams why can't it be a feather in his cap for beating Barry Bonds when both teams were good enough to share that stage? The difference is once you're in position guys like Jeter make the plays and get the hits. If you don't get that just think on it awhile. Of course there are exceptions some guys are doomed to play on bad teams their whole career but you can't make that excuse for every player that doesn't win a title.
