And I can't believe I'm the only one who thinks that Jeter is going to get engaged!
Jeter is so intensely private, and he does such a good job of keeping his personal life out of the tabloids and newspapers (as good a job as anyone with his level of celebrity can do)...I can't imagine him coming out with a massive news story like his engagement in the middle of the season.
ReplyDeleteHe'd consider it a distraction, something that would hurt the team's chances of attaining its ultimate goal: winning a championship in 2010, which starts with winning one game at a time, which is what he's all about, since the Yankees are the only team he has ever wanted to play for, because playing in pinstripes means so much to follow in the footsteps of such greats as Yogi and the Babe.
Okay, I'm just satirizing Jeter's patented technique of giving the media every cliche in the book, but you get my point. He's not going to announce an engagement in the middle of the regular season.
