Derek Jeter: Petty Thief

He pilfered the Joe DiMaggio sign, as I suspected. When I had last seen Jeter before covering the kickoff party to his celebrity golf classic for his Turn 2 Foundation at the Saddlebrook Resort about a half-north of here, he had refused comment on the famous sign (“I want to thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee”) in the tunnel leading to the Yankees dugout that went missing soon after their last Stadium home game. A clue on his intentions had come earlier that night, when he said he had his eye on a particular Stadium keepsake but wouldn’t say which. After the game and on-field celebration, I noticed the sign was missing and told him, “I know what you’re taking out of here,” and I asked if I could report it. He shook his head and replied, “In due time.” Four months later, he admitted he had taken the sign, and another item or two.

That MFY shit must be really expensive if even Captain Intangibles can't afford it!

I wouldn't want to touch that sign for many reasons but especially now after Jetes has ejaculated over it nightly.

He feels petty! Oh so petty!

He also stole A-Rod's heart, I purport.

Ruben Rivera was voted off the team for less.

How the heck does that not go to YS3? I'm telling you, that team just has no sense of their history at all.

="Edgy DC"]Ruben Rivera was voted off the team for less. So true! He just swiped some bats and gloves, if I recall. Freaking Jeter. As if we didn't have enough reasons to hate that bastard. Here's the sign. And to think that I felt really guilty about taking one of the paper "Final Season" inserts from a Shea napkin dispenser.
