Derek Jeter Featured Card of the Week, again


And why not?

I made an attempt to shine the spotlight on Phil Hughes’s return tonight, but that was an impossible endeavor with the most popular baseball player on the planet vying for 3,000 hits on ESPN tonight.

That’s right, Derek Jeter, fully recovered from a calf injury (speculative), is now just four hits shy of 3,000 hits, a feat only 27 men in the history of baseball have accomplished.

The stage is yours. If not tonight, it will be again tomorrow. And Friday, and Saturday, and … hopefully not Sunday — I don’t know how much longer I can take the hype.

In the middle of all the Jeter hype, Hughes was the real story last night. And I didn't think it was a very positive one. Yes he only gave up two runs, but he was throwing curves and 90-92 MPH fastballs that clearly had no zip on them. He was lucky only to give up two runs. Hopefully/maybe he needs a little more "spring training". We'll see. Yankees need him long term, and they also need Jeter to get #3000, so they can focus on the task at hand!

Es que definitivamente estamos en presencia de uno de esos peloteros que no se conforman con destacar dentro de un diamante de beisbol, sino que están empeñados en quedarse en la historia de este deporte para siempre. En lo particular Derek Jeter y Cal Ripken son los peloteros estadounidenses más representativos de este deporte.
