Sunglasses are a good cover .............

Many tears today, including me, and I am not even that big a baseball fan, I just appreciate loyalty, professionalism, dedication, and integrity. Derek Jeter exemplifies all of these traits. He was a Yankee, Boston did not like the Yankees, yet, a tremendous, tremendous outpouring of respect for him. His last at bat, in baseball,  ..... he is taken out ..... a standing ovation, in Boston, many tears, but, the sunglasses were a good cover of them.

Great careers, ending, there is something universal about them. One TV shot, a woman, sitting in the stands, when he walks off the field, her sunglasses were not enough, she had to wipe per eyes. We need more moments like this, they afford us, time to reflect...........

I am not wearing sunglasses, using tissues .................

I do wish they would take that little guy who did the interview down to meet him .... then, the network would be as classy and Mister Jeter ...................
