Derek Jeter was uncharacteristically bumbling around about 3 weeks ago and looked nothing like “The Captain” we had come to expect. Obviously, Jeter was inspired by the blog post below (Is Father Time Catching Up With Yankee Captain, May 13th) and has returned to form.
Jeter was striking out, dribbling weak ground balls to the infield, and hitting soft fly balls as he saw his average plummet from a healthy .330 at the end of April. As of May 13, after completing a very mediocre series at Detroit, Jeter was in the .260’s. But, the last three weeks Jeter has returned to driving the ball in the gaps, hitting it hard up the middle, and through the right side at about a .500 clip to raise his average back up and over the .300 mark.
We’re glad to know that the Sports Sausage is so widely read and that it helped serve as a catalyst to Jeter’s resurgence. If anyone else needs a kick-start out there, let us know and we’ll get it done.
