I think it goes both ways. Guys who don't perform in places like NY and Boston don't get the same flack that they get in big markets. It's just the nature of the beast. And the times that we live in.

Olbermann is an idiot.

Rain is supposed to end early, so hopefully they get the game in.

He had to make up for the botched roll call.A double and an RBI in his first at-bat!
It shouldn't fly. At no point during his career was he the best player on his team.

Except that he's 100% correct. This parade is silly, especially when you consider the Yankees would be better if Jeter weren't playing shortstop this season.
Chipper got huge ovations and gifts everywhere he went, and he was from a small market team
Jeter playing SS is not why the Yankees are out of the playoffs this year. And his play has been a big reason why they won 5 championships.
Would he have been this good on the Royals, no. And neither would Tom Brady be as good with the Raiders.
Nothing like this nonsense. Also, Chipper was better than Jeter.
He didn't do much in terms of helping, for sure. He's terrible.

Only one of those was with Jeter "leading the team".
Not trolling, just stating the facts. He's not a good baseball player anymore, this parade is silly, and your fanaticism is frightening.
Sorry that you never had a player help win you 5 rings, but that is no reason to call him a horrible player. This season is more about his career not his age. You needed to watch his career to know his greatness.
I did have a player lead a team to break an 88 year World Series drought, but that's not the point. Jeter now is bad because he's bad. That's all there is to it.
Absolutely nuts.
As a Yankees fan I've appreciated every minute. Seeing all of the old highlights, Bernie, Tino, and the rest of the guys on the field. It was awesome.
This was for us more than anyone else. And everyone hates the Yanks and their fans, so no surprise by the reactions of everyone else.
Jeter has played his last game at shortstop. But he will DH in Boston. #classactAbsolutely nuts.

Definitely!
As much as I'd like that to be his last game, I get that the fans in Boston deserve some DJ love also!
Meaningless game for both teams, I'm sure the pitcher was instructed to slow pitch to Jeter.
I can't wait for the end of the season, because I'm tried of everyone genuflecting at the alter of Jeter. Don't get me wrong, he was a great player, one of the few folks that seemed to have character and while he was a yankee, he was respectable. With that said, it was getting tired how ESPN was just bowing down at everything Jeter and every baseball team was showering him with gifts. The man has enough money to own a Hawaiian island and we're giving him stuff?
