Pretty ridiculous in a sport where you spend 95% of the time either sitting or standing around.
I love baseball, but let's face it, it's barely more of a sport than golf.
I agree. It's not like baseball players have to be in pro athelete shape... How do you get tired from baseball...
Eh, the baseball season is pretty grueling. Even just the travel is bad enough, and it certainly takes a toll living out of a suitcase 80+ nights a year.
I certainly understand why Jeter is tired, and I don't blame him for that. I just feel like, given the special circumstances, he is letting the sport down a bit.
This could have been a very special day for the league, honoring one of the most beloved players and biggest stars in the game, just a couple days after an epic performance where he got his 3000th hit, on a homer, and in the middle of a 5-5 day.
Instead, he pulls a lame excuse, and refuses to even show his face at the festivities. In the grand scheme of things, it is certainly very minor, but for a guy billed the way he is, as a guy who "does things the right way", this was a more than a little disappointing.
