The Face of Baseball  

Posted

Remember that ridiculous post at espn.com where it said jeter was teh face of baseball? the writer discussed jeter hustling in the 9th inning of a blow out. Here's what really happened:

Update: Thanks to Repoz for providing some clarification to the story. On May 29, Jeter hit a grounder in the third inning of a 5-2 game. Apparently, David Wells was slow to get off the mound and field the ball. When he did, he threw wildly to first, pulling off the first baseman Millar for an error. Repoz's account indicates that Wells never even looked at Jeter (i.e. his "hustle" was not a factor in the throw. It was a fat 40+ year old pitcher making a bad fielding play). So there you have it. A bad play by the pitcher in the third inning in a relatively close game becomes a hit beat out in the ninth inning of a blow out.
