Not a Yankee fan, but Derek Jeter shouldn't play in Boston. Let his career end with that game-winning hit. Fitting. The perfect ending.by Al Iannazzone via twitter 9/26/2014 2:37:52 AM -

So glad Bernie Williams was on the field with Rivera, Posada & Pettitte. Core 4 was always really 5.

I was in favor of Jeter playing all three games in Boston because that's what he's been about his entire career, but with how this night ended, it's hard to get mad at him if he wants to sit.
