Here's a classic take from the East Hampton Star on what Yankees fans need to remember:
First and foremost, recognize that Jeter will retire a Yankee. The thought of seeing him play out his days in a Houston Astros jersey is nauseating not only to Yankee fans, but also to all of baseball. Some things must remain sacred, and in the case of Jeter, they will. But even sacred happenings can have the reins pulled back.
It's a decent point. Baseball fans from coast to coast would clutch motion sickness bags in an effort to catch all of the vomit spewing from their mouths if God In Pinstripes even thinks about playing somewhere else...
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
