Derek Jeter, a 12-time All-Star with five Gold Glove and four Silver Sluggers and is the all-time postseason leader in hits, games played, extra-base hits and runs, is set to retire at the end of the 2014 season. To make it worse, his season is cut short with the Yankees elimination of playoff contention. Jeter will retire as one of the greatest to ever play the game, and his numbers show it.
During an interview of Jeter ' ex team ate, Tina Martinez, Martinez says, "He led by example,"His whole career has been that way. Plays hard, plays to win. Expects the most from his teammates. When you're in battle with a guy like that, it's important not to let him down. From superstars to the 25th man on the roster, we all felt a responsibility to play hard and play to win because of Jeter. That's rare." Jeter will finish his career with 5 World Series victories. The Red So, Yankees long time rivals, even plan to celery Jeter last game at few a park. Not all agree that Jeter is the best of all time, but almost everyone shares an immense respect for what he has done for this game. The Number 2 will be reitred at the end of the season, finishing off the Yankees retired mumbers 1-10. RE2PECT: http://youtu.be/X03_bNuihLU

#Kaser4Heisman
A punter from Texas A&M for the Heisman Trophy? Most don't know the name Drew Kaser when they hear it, but it his his goal to change that. Kaser has started his campaign to become the first punter to recieve this award by roaming the Texas A&M campus asking people to vote for him. He even started a trending topic on Twitter, with his campaign quote "#Kaser4Heisman."
Though Kaser does not have any touchdowns, interceptions, or sacks on his resume, he does have an incredible 77 yard punt to boast about. Kaser knows his campaign is a long shot, but he is not doing it for himself. This campaign he claims to be for his position and to gain respect for his position that he feels has lacked in recent years. Texas A&M is an offensively based team, averaging 54.3 points per game. With an offense like this, defense and special teams are not of main concern.
This bothered Kaser and lured him into wanting to make a change. To show his support for his position, and wore a "Punters are people too" shirt to an A&M press conference before the season. Though most agree Kaser is not one of the most common Heisman Candidates seen, they will agree what he is doing is very amusing and maybe will one day change how football fans view the Punting Position.
