It makes sense now to me. Thanks for the explanation of “misplay” and “unfortunate.” It makes sense now to me.

The mistaken "value" of Rey Ordonez was blown way out of proportion from day one. The intangible and true value of Derek Jeter is that he is and has been a "Champion from Day One" The man has four rings and as the great Bill Parcells once said: "You are what your record is" Does any other current active MLB Shortstop have four rings? Ummmm NO You can also tell, just by watching and cover the man, that he and Mr Posada and the original "Yankee Core" take losses personally. They understand that there is winning and the taste of winning it all far exceeds the pain of failure. Winners Win The Captain is a Winner and has the hardware to prove it Dave,

I don't really see what an error has to do with it, I'm sure he's had plenty of 18 game stretchs without an error, that doesn't mean that he's a vacuum up there. I'm sure some of the crumbs are still on the carpet at times (letting hits through), as he loses some of the range he originally had...

I am sure with summer games coming up we will see alot more of these. So, get your Coppertone, Shades and Baby Oil for some summer fun at the ball yard. General speaking we should leave official scoring in the hands of the experts and having men like yourself and Mr Shannon around only ensures all of us that the game of baseball is being left in good hands in New York. Now, I am going to go out and take a serenity walk and try to find a $20 Ribeye Steak at Mariano's place in New Rochelle Nice A-Bomb from Arod today Your Pal, The Hurl Dave,

Is this a hit or an error? Does it make any difference if the ball hits the outfielder's glove? Thanks An outfielder misplays a high, relatively routine, fly ball because he loses it in the sun.
