Thought this was a typo… Nope

Derek Jeter cuts check to cover fan’s student loans; NY Yankees offers entry level position within organization.

Update: Can someone verify this? I heard it on the radio.

Fantasy baseball + 2998 = Hurry up

Derek just grounded out on his second at-bat; he stands at 2,998 hits — and there’s probably no fan more anxious for him to get that hit than the dude behind home plate, with the neck brace, wearing a fedora.

Michael Kacer lost his left arm in rocket attack in Afghanistan in 2008.

Achilles International, a nonprofit group helping the disabled get back to playing sports, got the 11-year veteran great seats to a recent Yankees/Rockies game.  Kacer took care of the rest.  That’s one hell of a play, sir.

And so you know, Kacer gave the ball to the kid next to him - his nephew - and the Yankee stadium crowd gave him a standing ovation.

Okay, this is precious! Look at that kid’s face..

Oh so that’s how you block the plate

CARLOS PENA:  I’m going to run hard into you, Russell.  I’m gonna run hard into you and knock that fucking ball out of your fucking hands and I’m gonna score.  Here I come, pal.  HERE I FUCKING COME.

RUSSELL MARTIN:  Brah, I’m a Canadian playing for the Yankees.  The fuck outta here.

Derek Jeter is 6 hits from 3000 and also on the DL.

This is what happens when you draft fantasy based on name recognition :(
