Jeter is from Kalamazoo, MI. He was enrolled at UM for a semester. When Drew Henson was drafted by the Yankees and started playing for their system in the summers, he talked to Jeter a lot and they became good friends. Jeter used to come to Ann Arbor and hang out sometimes. He came out with us after the 1999 OSU game (with Chuck Knoublach- total **** BTW), got trashed at Scorekeepers, and passed out in a dorm in West Quad. Jeter was a cool guy, and I think Tommy's kept in touch with him since then. Personally, I hate the NYY, but have no qualms with Jeter. You buy me beer, you're good in my book.
Tommy's worn a NYY cap for a long time. He had quite a few teams he would rotate, and break out the Expos cap for a while, too. "His" team.
