Jeter: Tony Soprano or not?

By Tangotiger, 01:28 AM

Read the article for how you don’t cross him.  Or this for the other side of him:

“You mean to tell me we were trying to win a championship every year,” Jeter told Cashman, “and there was a way for me to get better to help us do that, and nobody told me?

“I’m only going to play for so many years, and if you’re telling me there are things I can do to make us better and put us in a better position to win, why wouldn’t someone tell me this? . . . I want to do everything I can to get better. It makes me wonder how good we could’ve been and how many more championships we might’ve won if I’d dealt with this.”

It was the perfect response. It was the winning response.

It was Jeter revealing the essence of his greatness.
