One more reason to hate the Yankees

How in the world can this possibly be justifed:

[Jeter is] also a New York institution and Yankee legend with the likes of Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Babe Ruth. Except there's one thing Jeter may end up with that none of those other Yankee heroes had. There are plans to have a bridge named after him in New York.

If you want to name something like a bridge after someone posthumously, I say go for it - it's a nice way to recognize accomplishments. But seriously, Jeter is still alive, and STILL PLAYING. For once coming from me, this is not a rip on Jeter, but on everyone else - get some perspective.

On another note, the World Series is at least staying interesting. Although part of me wishes it would just end so I could be put out of my misery this season and start focusing on important things like trade deadlines. If this thing has to keep going, it had better last 7 games so the Phillies can crush all the Yankee hearts, hopes and dreams simultaneously.
