Puh-leeze!! I am not saying diminishing ARod's talent. He's a great talent and I think it's a disgrace how the fans have turned their back on him. He hit two career milestones last night, and they were completely overshadowed by the negatives. IMO, that's ridiculous. What I AM saying is that I don't believe he has come through in that special way yet, as have other players on the team. And until he does, NYers are going to continue to give him a hard time. It comes with the territory.
As for Jeter, how about the fact that his average is .339 with 57 RBI's? And I don't want to see him dancing around flowers with whores, I prefer to see him running the bases. He plays all out every game, period, and makes it obvious that he loves the game and his team. He's a great player, and you can say what you want, if he happens to be handsome and popular, too, that doesn't detract from his talent.
