Mariano Riviera, Derek Jeter, to be around the night these guy's retired was exceptional. The night that President Bush threw out the first pitch after 9/11 and the day Big Papi gave his speech after the Marathon bombing were very emotional events for many.
For Jeter to go thru an entire career in New York and to live his life during that time under a microscope and retire without incident is a great example for everyone. I wish him the best on this new page in his life. What a great guy. I understand ajbrown fully, for me Big Papi cured me of the rivalry going past the game itself but I do understand fully to disliking the competition.
