There is no doubt that Jeter will remain a Yankee as long as he wants to play, and the same is true of Mo although with a pitcher there is less flexibility. Neither are the type to demand terms that are unreasonable. The problem is the other players and agents who will say me too and the Yankees are smart enough business people to do the deal when it needs to get done. I was thinking about Don Mattingly today and how he picked up roots when he did not get selected to be manager. I noted that when Torre said he is staying 1 more year that there was no story about Mattingly. Jetter will always be a Yankee. The times have changed.

George: Steve Trout is dead. So is Cerone. Phil Lombardi. Rich Bordi. Dan Pasqua. Today I settled all family business so don't tell me that you're innocent. Admit what you did.

[Lou hands George an airplane ticket] George: I want you to stay there, you understand? [Bob nods] George: Only don't tell me that you're innocent. Because it insults my intelligence and it makes me very angry. Now, who approached you first? McNamara? Yawkey? Bob Shirley: It was Yawkey. George: Good. There's a car outside that will take you to the airport. I'll call your wife and tell her what flight you're on. Bob Shirley: Listen, George... George: Go on.
