I respect him as much as I have ever respected any baseball player, have always thought his intangibles have mattered more than the concrete stuff of other so-called betters and have long looked forward to seeing a plaque in Monument Park with his face and some other stuff on it. That said, there's part of me that hopes Mustang means this non-sarcastically because there's a difference between respect and love and after the Mariano Goodbye Year, I can't imagine any way Derek's farewell can measure up.

There's sadness in that admission, but it's true. I'd much prefer he called it quits and had a day in April or whenever than play the "something to prove" angle and hang on. Derek Jeter has nothing to prove.
