Fan Jeter shows his Linstripes
Derek Jeter has been busy with pre-spring training workouts and hasn’t watched the Knicks much other than catching a few highlight clips. But the Yankee shortstop has a dose of “Linsanity” like the rest of New York. Jeter grinned widely Monday when asked about the Knicks’ point guard sensation, Jeremy Lin.

And here are the three reasons why:
1) MOTIVATION.

Second Super Bowl Doesn’t Put Manning in Jeter’s Class
This is a response to Mike Silva’s piece on Saturday in which he raves about New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, and how if he helped the Giants win Super Bowl 46, could supplant Derek Jeter as New York’s sports darling and “catapult him to the top of New York sports.”
This is not a hit piece on Elisha, either. I have the utmost respect for Manning, who has endured...

Player Profile #82: Brett Gardner | OF | NYY
Generally I’m not a huge fan of steals-only players unless they play shortstop, and Brett Gardner is painfully close to being just that. However, I can’t get over how in 2010 he ranked 38th overall thanks to his 97 runs scored. And that’s exactly what Gardner can be if the Yankees wake up and bat him at the top instead of Derek Jeter. In 2011, Gardner had 230 at...

For over 15 years Derek Jeter has been the sports symbol in this town. The Yankees shortstop benefitted from being in the right place/right time, as the Bombers won a World Series his first season in the big leagues. Jeter was young, playing for an up-and-coming team, and produced big moments on the big postseason stage. He joined the likes of Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle...

The shortstop position is only a year or two away from having the biggest turnover in the history of the position. Many relics are close to hanging it up, including Derek Jeter, Jimmy Rollins, J.J. Hardy, Jhonny Peralta, and Marcus Scutaro. This will seemingly give several young players the spotlight for the most important position in the infield, such as Texas’...
