In response to Dave Frederick stating "I'll be happy when all things Derek Jeter are finally retired," I say sour grapes.
If Derek Jeter played his entire career for the Phillies instead of the Yankees, I'm sure you would be all over it.
While it's true many people hate the Yankees, few are hard pressed to find any true fault with Derek Jeter. He played the game with integrity, ethics and intensity. Finally, good behavior is rewarded.
You shouldn't take that away from him, his family or fans. I guess you'll be napping when he is inducted into the Hall of Fame. Perhaps first ballot unanimously.

To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to viewpoints@capegazette.com. All letters are considered at the discretion of the newsroom and published as space allows. Due to the large volume of submissions, we cannot acknowledge receipt of each submission. Letters must include a phone number and address for verification. Keep letters to 400 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content or length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media.

Authors may submit a second letter within that time period if it pertains to a different issue. Letters may not be critical of personalities or specific businesses. Criticism of public figures is permissible. Endorsement letters for political candidates are no longer accepted. Letters must be the author’s original work, and may not be generated by artificial intelligence tools.
