If Derek Jeter had done this…

we would have seen it over and over and over. Sunday, A-Rod’s heads-up play saved the day in the ninth inning of the Yankees’ 2-1 win over the Athletics. Bobby Abreu lost a fly ball in the sun, caught it and dropped it. Abreu then threw to second to try and force Ryan Sweeney. The throw went over Derek Jeter’s head, but a heads-up A-Rod was backing up the play and quickly flipped it to Jeter for the force. For some reason, the play didn’t make these highlights.

  • Phil Rizutto's canoli responded:

    The Boy Toy is obviously learning from Madonna how to be in the right place at the right time. Too bad he still hits like a virgin with two outs and men in scoring position. In that regard Jeter is still a stud, overhyped PR or no.
