This they will do under the guise of being sportsmen, which they are in a sense, but they'll obviously do it for the ticket $ales, and won't for a second consider what it will all mean for the rest of us. If the Wilpons can afford to replace it, we can assume the pitching rubber used to surrender this (thus far hypothetical) milestone-reaching base hit will be pulled up and forwarded directly to MFYS III or perhaps the Captain's castle in St. Jetersburg, Fla. And because the rubber was stepped on by a pitcher who permitted a base hit to Derek Jeter, it will make all the memorabilia around it better.
