Shameful. Wainwright gave Jeter a pitch to hit because he wanted Jeter to go out in style.

(5,790 posts)The game "matters" in as much as home field is up for grabs,
The standing O when Jeter left was great. I effing hate the Yankees, but even I got a little choked up. Jeter is a class act.

He probably needed the extra money for all the giftbags.
