Derek Jeter has no expections going into final All Star Game

Derek Jeter remembers being at Coors Field in Colorado in 1998, not quite sure how to conduct himself and a bit in awe of one of his American League teammates, Cal Ripken Jr., who was 37 and about to play in his 16th All-Star Game.

"I was a little scared to approach him," Jeter said. "It was Cal Ripken. Even though I had played against him, I really hadn't had a chance to talk to him."

That was Jeter's first All-Star Game. Now, Jeter is that guy, a future Hall of Famer and the player more young players look up to than any other. While reflecting on his final All-Star Game Monday, Jeter said he plans on being as approachable as possible. Jeter, 40, has announced his retirement after this season. He was voted in by fans and will bat leadoff for the American League team Tuesday night, AL manager John Farrell announced Monday.

"I don't know what tomorrow's going to be like," Jeter said. "I'm coming here, playing in the All-Star Game and trying to win for our league, because someone in this room is going to benefit. I don't go into things with expectations. I'm looking forward to playing the game and I've pretty much stopped right there. I think I've been pretty good at tempering my emotions over the course of my career."

Rex Racer, pick some teams or STFU. Hit-n-runs from newbs scared to tell us who they like aren't popular.

That's my way of saying Welcome!

I'll get around to dealing with the profile BS in due time. I'm living 50 miles north of Boston so that should tell you what you want to know.
