Derek Jeter: All That Is Good

[G-Fafif]

Gene Wojciehowski gives Captain Template the soft rain treatment (though it reads like someone has a pinstriped shower fetish). Get out your umbrellas...

]Wednesday, August 12, 2009 Jeter the name that matters By Gene Wojciechowski ESPN.com BRONX BOMBSHELL: DEREK JETER SAYS HE USED STEROIDS Well, what would you do if ESPN interrupted your regularly scheduled programming for that one? Would it be enough to make you shred your season tickets, douse your baseball cards with charcoal fluid and delete America's pastime from your Facebook friends list? If I ever see Jeter's name attached to the hip of performance enhancers, I'm done. I mean it -- I'll never watch another big league game again. Because if Captain Pinstripes could do the Vitamin S deed, then anybody can. Jeter's name is where I draw the line in the PED sand. He is the absolute last guy I'd ever suspect of juicing. It seems so, well, beneath him. He is the one player who I actually think would walk away from the game if he thought he had to cheat to compete. Wouldn't be much point in caring about baseball if Derek Jeter's name ever showed up on some performance-enhancing drug list. To me, Jeter is the anti-Barry Bonds, the anti-Roger Clemens and the anti-Alex Rodriguez. He understands that if you compromise the game, you compromise yourself. Bonds, who didn't need to cheat but did anyway, was undone by an ego the size of Alcatraz. Clemens, the pathological liar who tries to intimidate people into believing his gum-wrapper-thin explanations, cheated because he was "The Rocket'' and you're not. And A-Rod, overpowered by the need to please and justify his historic contract, copped to at least three seasons of PED use -- but only after lying about it for years and only after he was cornered by the truth. Not Jeter. I can see him marrying Mariah Carey before I see him squirming in front of a Congressional hearing with the lawyered-up Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire. I can see him in a Boston Red Sox uni before I see him smirking his way through PED revelations like Manny Ramirez did in Los Angeles. Jeter would never put himself in that position. At least, that's what I want to believe. Then again, I wanted to believe it with his New York Yankees teammate, A-Rod. More than anything, I wanted to believe in the integrity of Rodriguez's numbers. I'm not a Yankees honk. In fact, I want to scrape my ears with a steel-haired barbecue grill brush every time I hear play-by-play man John Sterling do that grating, "Thhhhhhhhhhhhe Yankees win!'' thing. But how can you not admire the way Jeter treats his craft? He is the template for baseball professionalism. That's why I'd need a year's worth of Dr. Oz therapy sessions if it turns out Jeter did the steroids deed. And I'm not the only one. Yankees fans would go into permanent mourning if Jeter betrayed them. A-Rod's steroids admission they could handle; he was a free-agent import. Jeter, though, was born and raised by the organization. You think Yankees and you think Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, Berra, Munson, Reggie and Jeter. Same thing goes for St. Louis. Cardinals fans worshipped Big Mac and then watched in disbelief as he napalmed his sport and reputation by refusing to "discuss the past.'' Can you imagine if Albert Pujols, the man who eventually replaced McGwire at first base, was a syringe enthusiast? City officials would have to set up a baseball suicide prevention clinic at Busch Stadium. Cards fans adore Pujols. A Jeter steroids admission would be the deal-breaker for me. Pujols, too. If those guys went pharmaceutical, I couldn't go to a big league game if Bud Selig paid me. Who would it be for you? Ken Griffey Jr.? If The Kid did it, I'm gone. Chipper Jones? The same. Mariano Rivera? I'd think about it. Joe Mauer? The sound of weeping followed by my baseball resignation letter. Jim Thome? Baseball's nicest guy wouldn't do that to us, would he? Tim Lincecum? Sadness if The Freak was a fake. Trevor Hoffman? Hells bells, please not Hoffman. David Wright? See Mauer response. More and maybe all of those names on that "secret'' steroids list will eventually leak out. In February, it was A-Rod. In June, it was Sosa. Last month it was Ramirez and David Ortiz. It's death by 96 or so paper cuts. So far the game has survived the depressing revelations. It sort of coagulates, scabs up and then heals as best as it can. But there could come a time when the PED damage reaches a tipping point. For me, the magic number is 2. Jeter's jersey number.

This is a great new method for column-writing: Suppose something you don't think could happen happens and react to it with horror. Beats waiting for actual news.

Also, yeech.

[metirish]

Oh for fucks sake how do people like this get hired by anyone , how could he not be embarrassed when he reads that back.


Every word makes me want to vomit. Bob Klapisch is probably beside himself with envy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Subpoena Derek now. Sounds like the worry is keeping this poor guy up at night. Gotta scratch that itch eventually.

Personally, I think the all-important "last guy I'd suspect" is, I don't know, Kent Tekulve.

[HahnSolo]

Would a guy whose head seems to have gotten much bigger over the course of his career really be that big of a surprise steroid user?

[smg58]

I'd laugh my ass off if Jeter got caught. The reactions of people like this guy would be very entertaining.

I wouldn't worry about what it would do to the game because it's already been done. Steroids were tolerated to the point where there was zero incentive to stay clean, and even the players who did stay clean are guilty of looking the other way (along with Selig and reporters like Gene Wojciechowski).
