And you thought that missing jet is a thorny delimna?

From the Daily News:

Derek Jeter's upcoming farewell tour already has Twins' manager Ron Gardenhire thinking of ways to top the goodbye gift his club gave Mariano Rivera last year.
But Gardenhire, who came up with the idea for "The Chair of Broken Dreams" - a rocking chair made of broken bats - for Rivera, knows it won't be easy.
"How the hell are we going to do that?" Gardenhire said. "I've been thinking about that a lot." At one point, Gardenire mused, "Gold Glove rocking chair? I don't know if our organization is going to go that deep, OK?

How about a chair made of gift baskets?

I think Jeter's abysmal performance and/or a disintegrated ankle will force an end to this vulgar sentimental journey around the league, thus sparing opposing teams the distasteful task of bowing and scraping before Dead-Eye Jete all season.

Just thought of this now... Please beam to MLB promotional dept immediately... Derek Jeter should be announced by Bob Sheppard at all away games too.
