Here are Yuri, Aroid and The MelkMan coming out of a hotel after a “mentoring” session:
Here is Billy Beane talking about the Great Jeter and the Flip play that beat his A’s:
Ricciardi’s boss, Billy Beane? He was not angry over Jeremy Giambi’s failure to slide, and he was not exasperated over Danley’s failure to see the play as a tie-goes-to-the-runner proposition. Beane was simply awed by Jeter’s grace.
“It’s almost as if Derek designed it,” he said, “like, ‘Hey, I’ve got to
go into the dugout anyway.’ It had to be perfect and fit right into his
schedule. There were two outs, he flipped to Posada on his way to the dugout, and just sort of disappeared.
“Derek Jeter even has an elegant way of breaking your heart.”
