ONLY THE CAPTAIN CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN

In a season that there pretty much was nothing to cheer about. Where the high and mighty Yankees suddenly hit rock bottom.

A Packed house at the stadium, day in and day out was trying to find something to root for in a positive manner.
In a way it would only seem befitting to send off this history packed cathedral in the Bronx.

In the past, whenever the Yankees needed a big hit , Derek was always there to save the day.
On those nights all the Jeter basher's who don't understand the clutch factor and who just didn't think his stats were up to par .On those nights were flat out lost for words.
(In my opinion the rise of fantasy sports lessened the value of the intangible type players.)

A few weeks ago when Yankee Stadiums final home stand was looming closer and closer. All was lost. The players quit and in effect the fans quit. It took all the luster out of what was supposed to be a momentous and grandeur time.

New York was searching for even a tidbit of positivity. With the Mets in the midst of pulling off an almost identical performance of last years team really wasn't helping this city to say the least.

This is where the Captain comes up clutch . Not only to save his organization from being the laughing stock of the AL East . But to save the face of Yankee Stadium.
At a time when an entire fan base didn't know where to turn, Jeter provided guidance.

Call it timing, call it luck.
But Jeter Breaking The Iron Horses hit mark at the stadium at the time he did is just flat out clutch in more reasons you could imagine.

Hell, Isnt that what Jeter has been doing his whole career? Why should we expect differently.
