Tampa Tribune (Florida)

Your Martin Fennelly is an award-winning sports columnist but his cheap dig at Derek Jeter of the Yankees, calling him "Jeter the Cheater," was totally unwarranted. I have been involved baseball for years, from coaching to umpiring, and what transpired during the game Wednesday night was baseball at its best. Yes, I am a Yankee fan for over 50 years and the Rays deserved to win. But as Rays manager Joe Maddon said, he would have applauded his player for doing the same thing as Derek did.
Just don't forget Derek's "Turn 2 Foundation." He has raised over $10 million for disadvantaged young people, and he does it in the Tampa Bay area, where he is also a resident. Martin owes Derek an apology for a cheap shot.
