Which Race?

Racist hate-mailers need to be more specific:

The letter was mailed to Jeter at Yankee Stadium and called him a "traitor to his race," according to a story in Monday's editions of the Daily News. It warned him to "stop or he'll be shot or set on fire," said a law enforcement source who the newspaper did not identify. It was not clear whether the source was speaking on condition of anonymity.

Which race would that be? Has this idiot ever watched a Yankees game and seen Derek's mom and dad in the stands? Derek is living proof that race is meaningless.

As for being set on fire, Derek has 193 hits and 73 walks while scoring 116 runs from the top of the order. I'd say he's been on fire all year.

I hope publishing this letter and the others sent by this wacko help the police track him down before he hurts someone.

Maybe he only wants Jeter to date mixed-race women... wasn't he linked with Mariah Carey for a while?

Yup.
Jeter plays SS for the Yankees, has four WS rings, a $100+ million contract. And had Mariah Carey.
I'd take just one of those.

Probably some idiotic Red Sox fan trying to help his team by getting in Jeter's head. I would take all of those save Mariah Carey, Mariah Carey?!?!, c'mon man, I'd take Benson's stripper {err. wife} over the premadonna stuck up ugly b#*$&.

Rbj,
I don't mind Mariah myself...though I do like some of his other girls more. #1 being Ms. Jessica Alba, followed in no particular order by Jordana Brewster & Lara Dutta...that lucky bastard.

"Probably some idiotic Red Sox fan trying to help his team by getting in Jeter's head."

Except if you'd actually read the article, they think it's the same guy that's sent similar letters to Clarence Thomas, Jason Taylor of the Dolphins, and some tennis player.

Yeah, it sounds like it's a real-life crank. 60 letters! He hasn't come out of hiding and attacked anyone yet, but he definitely sounds like someone the FBI wants to find.

Anyway, Jeter's gallery of girlfriends is an amazing pantheon of babes if you ask me. Carey's a loon, but man, she's a sexy loon.

and WHY do yall think that a woman don't write these filthy anonymous letters?

derek himself once said he's so popular because he looks "ethnic"

Lisa, we're just assuming it's a guy who's jealous of Derek.

(He's had Alba, too? Damn)

Posted by: rbj at September 26, 2005 08:33 PM

I've never seen Jeter's parents. I assume they are a mixed race couple, based on what was said, but I couldn't care less either.
