Ed Mack Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 As a lifelong NY Yankees fan, I am a huge Derek Jeter fan. I found this video of his Top 10 career plays done with toy minifigures(Sorry...not LEGO, but close enough). Hope you enjoy it. 2 Quote

Cards and Yankees are the two greatest teams in MLB history. Quote
weakside Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Thanks for posting - great audio and video. Yanks so lucky to have Rivera and Jeter play so well and consistent all those yrs. Rivera is like the top closer (and set up man to Wetteland) of the modern era...maybe all time. As a traditionalist, part of me feels home teams shouldn't be giving gifts to retiring opposing player no matter how good they are...I know it's respect but still. I don't think any other pro sport does that or they do it discreetly. Go Jays (next year yet again). Quote
MarleyMoose Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Playing Jeter all year cost them a playoff spot imo. Quote
marcandre Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Baseball is great. Anytime I have trouble sleeping I can turn on a game and it's lights out Quote
iahawks550 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 I enjoyed that. But, 20 years from now, #7 will be the play that is shown most often. Quote
mudcatsfan Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Playing Jeter all year cost them a playoff spot imo. Fair trade though.5 rings for one stinker of a year. Plus you have to ask who the alternative would have been, and how much better would they have been? Its not like Steven Drew would have gotten them to the Series Quote
Ed Mack Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 Playing Jeter all year cost them a playoff spot imo. LOL...The reason why the Yankees did not make the playoffs is because they didn't resign Cano and the old men on the team can't hit their weight. Quote
Alpinemaps Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 I'm a Yankee hater - the 1998 World Series still stings. But, I've been a career-long fan of Jeter. I actually got the chance to meet him back in 1998, when the Yankees came to San Diego and played a couple of preseason games here against the Padres, and at San Diego State (I was attending there at the time). One of my prized possessions is an autographed Jeter baseball from that weekend. He is classy, and he played the game the old school way. When I went to Cooperstown in 2007 to see Gwynn get inducted, there were 120,000 people. And both Ripken and Gwynn had played their entire careers for one team. At the time, I said the next time Cooperstown would see a crowd like that would probably be the last time, and it would be Jeter. Even 7 years ago, there was only one player that you could point to, to say "he is a future HOF'er, who played for the same team his entire career." Cooperstown will be nuts 5 1/2 years from now. 1 Quote
tonysbricks Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 People earning some major cool points here. I used to drive to Boston every weekend for work. I would wear my Yankees tie (ties weren't required for the job) and put my Yankees hat on the dash to represent. Quote
ravenb99 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Most have probably already seen but pretty funny if you haven't. https://twitter.com/BlueJayHunter/status/513138070934540288/photo/1 Quote
