I think I'm going to throw up it was such a Disney-esque type ending. Now we get to hear about this for the next few days.

Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps? -
I'm not a big fan of the player or the team. But Jeter has had a great career and i do appreciate baseball history whether my team wins or not. Jeter and his fans deserve one last moment of glory. He's earned it. It's good for all of baseball to have moments like these to look back on.Originally posted by Pogues View Post“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

All I could do was laugh as the whole thing started to unfold. Two HR's in the top of the 9th to extend the game. Some guy I still don't know gets on base to allow for a sac bunt. First pitch lined into right and now I was laughing out loud and thinking if you wrote this everyone would roll their eyes. I certainly don't love the Yankees, but that was a cool moment for the fans to have.Comment

Know what my eight year old turned to me and said after the screaming had died down after the hit?
"It couldn't have ended any other way, Dad."
Instantly my favorite baseball memory ever."There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed. I say this in order to impress upon you, if you are not already so impressed, that no small matter should divert us from our great purpose. "

funny - my fifteen year old said exactly the same thing. neither he nor i are yankees fans, but i do respect jeter, and i thought it was a fitting end. too bad it had to be against my beloved O's though - who will now be highlight reel material forever because of it...Originally posted by Bob Kohm View Post"Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?"
