With the stock market uncertainty, housing market problems and unrest throughout the world, we have almost lost sight of the fact that the Yankee shortstop has lifted his average to 291 and is nearing 50 RBI's. As usual, even at age 37, he is playing an impeccable shortstop. Jeter looks like Jeter! Not as many homers of course, but hitting balls the opposite way with that classic "inside-out swing", driving the ball in the gaps and legging out infield hits . Even stealing a base or two...and playing with ease and confidence especially since the "3000 hit monkey is off his back "!
So all you doubters out there, I must definitively state, Derek Jeter is not washed up ! He is still a very productive # 2 hitter with a spring in his step.
And Ty Cobb and Pete Rose, well....Let's see.
