I'm just sitting here eating breakfast, alternately grinning like a fool or laughing out loud. I can hear the cheering crowd in my head: "De-rek Je-ter!" Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap. I can especially hear our former co-workers, those cute little Queens teenagers, gushing over him every day. (They always reminded me of an old Looney Toons cartoon where the little lipstick-wearing hens whine "he looks just like Frankie Sinatra!") Does Derek Jeter deserve to be booed? Ya darn right he does! You deserve a medal for your decorum.
I too hate Jeter as much as you do growing up in Queens and living through the obnoxious Yankees fans four world series wins from 1996 to 2000. One of my fondest memories of Fried Frank was watching the Yankees choke against the Red Sox in 2004 in that tiny conference room with the TV. BTW My son and I booed A-Rod at the home run derby the day before the all star game when he was a TV announcer.

This made me laugh. Thanks, it’s a good way to start the morning.
