Derek Jeter


On this date in 1996, Derek Jeter is the unanimous choice for the AL Rookie of the Year.

"When he was in the eighth grade and was about to switch from parochial school to a public school, we sent him over to the Y to play basketball against older kids as a way of toughening him up. He went, but he took his mother with him." - Charles Jeter (Derek's father)

Mr. Jeeter should preview the pics of him and his gfriend. My grandson did and got a big surprise while viewing, one of the pics bounces into Fling.com and features T & A!!
Educate my grandson in good sportsmanship and leave the rest to Nature...
What will Mr. Jeeter do to remedy that??
