Stop the retirement madness. Please.

Could someone please tell Derek Jeter that he can still play and that his retirement is making me feel less like a boy and too much like an adult.

While we’re at it, take the guitar away from Bernie Williams and put him back in centerfield.


Get Paul O’Neill out of the broadcasting booth and back into right field.


Remind Mariano Rivera that he had an All Star season last year and should be playing right now.


I prefer my sports heroes to be timeless, damn it.

Sherry My son and I usd to talk about how we would handle the day that Jeter hung up his spikes. It was always way off in the future. Now my son is a grown man, and Jeter is 40 and ready to hit the showers, and we are very sad. No matter the number of "good-byes" at each stadium, we will not be ready for the final Jeter game. It is truly the end of an era (sorry for the cliche) and the finale of the core four.
