Jeter Responds With Class

When questioned today about Hank Steinbrenner's comments, Derek Jeter as usual took the high road. Acknowledging that as owner Hankenstein can say what he wants, Jeter said he wasn't upset and that he was planning on being ready for the upcoming season.

Jeter is the ultimate team player and personifies Yankee tradition. That's why George made him the Captain. Maybe Hankenstein should think about that the next time he opens his mouth.
