Derek Jeter and Larry Walker rarely crossed paths during their time in the major leagues."There was one time in the Bahamas, playing blackjack, that we sat down for a little while with Matt Damon, and we sat there and played for a little while," Walker recalled of a gambling evening where athletes and thespians mixed.NEW YORK — Derek Jeter and Larry Walker rarely crossed paths during their time in the major leagues.

Finding out his plaque in Cooperstown will be adjacent to bronze of Yankees teammate Mariano Rivera, the first unanimous pick in a writers' vote, Jeter revealed some emotion. "It doesn't get any better than this," Jeter said."There's no more awards. There's no other place you can go. This is it." Jeter was an $800,000 bonus baby, won five World Series titles and became captain of the Yankees. Among baseball's best-known stars, he was a GQ icon, no hair ever out of place — back when he had hair."Pinch me," he exclaimed."Bought my girlfriend a necklace and she dumped me and had only about $1,000 left from that $2,000 Canadian," he said.

Asked whether he would be in the Hall if he hadn't raked in the thin air, he quickly replied:"Absolutely not."

Why Walker, Bonds, Clemens are worthy of the Hall of Fame - Sportsnet.caAs multiple Hall of Fame ballots are made public, Wilnerness590 has joined the social-media discussions. But it's not fair to critique without putting one's figurative money where one's keyboard is, so here is his pseudo-ballot. Wilnerness590 Absolutely not, no room for cheaters in the HOF🇨🇦 Wilnerness590 Bonds and Clemens are cheaters I hope they never get in EVER ...

He was amazing in Montreal for sure, and frankly Montreal scouts are one of the reasons he made it to the majors in the first place. But Colorado is where everything came together for him. MakingTownsGuy Wow during his interview he was all about Canada. So disappointing Sad
