The Steinbrenner/Sheppard Death Game
July 16, 2010
Walkoff 5-4 Win


Derek Jeter met with the media a little while ago to talk all things George Steinbrenner, a man he considered more of a friend than his owner. A case in point: Jeter woke up at 9 pacific time on Tuesday and saw a series of messages offering condolences for his loss. He didn’t know what had happened at the time, or who had died, and so someone asked a follow-up about if he was concerned it had been a family member.

“Well, it is a family member,” Jeter said. The look on his face said he wasn’t being dramatic.
