    As the Captain has now turned 40 what's your favorite moment in his Yankee career. There's the obvious like homer for hit #3000, the flip play, his 2000 WS MVP performance and the dive into the stands against the Red Sox. That being said there might be some others.

    You pretty much noted my favorite Jeter Moments....

    #1- The Flip/Toss, to nail Giambi at Home Plate, classic never seen a play like it MLB History.

    #2- Incredible running catch into the Stands vs. Bosox in YS...Wow..!

    Of course, the other two are already noted, the 2000 W.S. MVP performance, and his 3000 hit, a Classic Momentous HR...

    It is hard to top those 4....got to put my mind to some of those other great plays, over the last 20 yrs...

    Good stuff, good post....!!! I look forward to others tagging this post...!

    This would be my favorite but a very close 2nd is the day he hit #3000 because of the way it was done. 5 for 5 & #3000 being a HR.

    As much, I will miss Derek's patented Pirouette throws from the hole on the 3rd base side of SS.

    Tho' others have done as much, I can't recall ANY SS who utilized the pirouette throw as gracefully, and accurately as our Captain...

    Let's not forget "the speech" to the fans in '08 to close out old YS.

    A GREAT Speech, and very SAD moment, (depending on how you look at it, the end of a EPIC Era, or beginning of a New Era)....

    The speech could of not been any better, unless Derek spoke and gave "The Speech" in English, Spanish, and Japanese....! :lol:

    while standing on his head, for the latter 2 languages....:breakdance:

    Ah, return to work....its always the most valuable time to take vacation or maternity leave, (like you did), upon the birth of a new child. Mom always needs help after a C-Section too. Your work at home, during this time, is Honorable Steve.

    Enjoy yourself at work too....!

    Our work is our daily bread, and butter too.

    Another easily forgotten moment by Our Captain, (even made the sports news), was a foul fly ball, Derek caught along the 3rd base fences, up against the seats. Two Men held their hand out, and one tried to take the ball from Derek.

    Derek being too quick, pulled his hand away, and kept motioning to a little young girl sitting in the row behind the two burly dudes. Once she saw Derek motion to her, he tossed the ball over the mens heads, into her glove....A Precious Keepsake from a Class Act HOF'er, 2 be...!
