The Captain and TennilleI want to preface this entire post by saying I do not want MLJ to ever be the Us Weekly of sports. Or the Page Six. Or the TMZ.  I heard this on the radio and then saw it in the NY Post, Derek Jeter and some girl named Minka Kelly are “secretly engaged”. Now I don’t even know who Minka Kelly is, I don’t care where the wedding is going to be, when it will be, what she will be wearing, who will be in the bridal party, if A-Rod will be there. I don’t give a shit. My point to all of this is Derek Jeter always has done things the right way. Off the field. If this is true, then I think he is doing more of the right thing.

I have always admired how Derek Jeter handled his private life. I mean if I was young, rich, famous and good looking, I too would play the field and bang every hot piece of ass in New York, LA and Miami. Really. It is very simple. Most baseball players don’t follow this formula. Most of them are drafted out of high school or college and get a big signing bonus. Or even a moderate one. Then they are sent to some fucking minor league town in the middle of nowhere where they flash their cash, party their asses off, meet some 19 year old waitress at the Bowling Alley/Nightclub, bang her out, marry her and then make it to the Bigs. Now he is in his early 20’s, making Major League money and stuck will a Pensacola 10 (who turns out to be a big city 4) and are possibly stuck with a kid or two to pay for. Derek Jeter never did this. I mean the players that do still go get random ass but then that leads to “scandal” and then a messy divorce where they have to pay off the Pensacola 10 leaving him with half his shit.

Derek Jeter took the mantle of Yankee Captain and ran with it. He always was available and said nothing. He always went to the nightclubs but never left out the front door with the girl. There are never drunken party pictures of Jeter. Nothing ever. In an US Weekly world, he has kept his exploits very quiet. I mean we all knew he dated so and so but he never made that front page news, unlike the guy who plays to his right. Derek Jeter lived his 20’s the right way. He lived his early 30’s the right way and now he is looking at his baseball mortality and doing this the right way too.

You see “The Captain” is 35. He will probably play another 5 years or so but in reality he is entering the twilight of his career. This is the perfect time for him to get married if he wants to have legitmate kids and a family to come home to. He is marrying a chick 10 years younger than he is. That means as he gets older, she will still be his young, hot wife. Even when he is 55, she will be 45 and his glory days will be 20 years behind him. Is he pulling starlet ass then? No. He is pulling Pensacola 10s. So this is perfect for him now. He will hit all of his milestones and be able to bring his hot wife on the field for the moments. Their might be a kid in the picture too. Derek Jeter is smart and image concious. If he values family this is the right time. He has already banged out every piece of ass possible. So to Derek Jeter I want to say, I hate your Yankee guts. But I respect you. I will hold you up to all young athletes as an example of how to live your life. Salud!
