Just my , and worth every penny.
Does it really count if 300+ (I just threw a number out at random) of them were with steroids?

Andy, no offense, but that "300+" figure is just silly, and you know it. I seriously doubt if the number that was "juiced" is as much as 30. He tested positive while in Texas, where he hit, over 3 seasons, 156 total. With his swing, most of those would have gone out anyway. Like I keep saying, it is OK to not like the guy. But be fair . . . the man would have hit 600 anyway, juice or not.

That's my problem with it. I'm not a big hater of PEDs in sports (they're not good, but not as evil as everyone makes them out to be, but that's another issue for another day), but when major milestones are made by those who blatantly cheat, it takes away from the true greats like Jr., Aaron, Ruth, and Gehrig. When (if) Jeter overtakes Pete Rose for the all-time hits record I will be a bit sad but will definitely cheer Jeter for his accomplishment. Jeter is a class act and there are many in baseball like him (stand-up guys). Unfortunately, baseball has turned into a sport that caters to guys like A-Rod and Manny.

And for handling it with typical Jeterian aplomb. Love the Yanks or hate them, you can't deny Jeets is a class act.

Amen to that. He's one to never want to take credit for anything. He's all about team.

It has been announced that Joe Torre, present manager of the LA Dodgers, will retire at the end of this season. He will be replaced by the man who made me a Yankee fan . . . the one and only Donnie Baseball, Don Mattingly.

Though Torre now plans to remain an advisor with the Dodgers, he has yet to rule out the possibility that he might manage again. Are you listening, Mac? Your Mets don't seem to have much of one at the moment, although they do have a more glaring need for a GM . . . and a few players.

I can still remember the headlines in the New York tabloids back when the Yankees hired Torre, when they called him "Clueless Joe".
