    And no Jackie Gleason has not returned from the dead.

    How about that finish to Jeter's Yankee stadium career. It couldn't have been written better. And topped off with a real nice farewell from the Boston crowd.

    He'll be missed.

    ...the chants of "Der-ek Jee-ter" from the Fenway crowd was unexpected... classy gesture.

    Even as unexpected, was Fenway's crowd giving up their seats, in a standing Ovation, for WTF a Yankee Class Act, and one time Bosox Killer....

    I thought I'd never see the Day, to see such a incredible fare thee well....


    hey Rick welcome back, I can only imagine the fun and enjoyment you had in God's country...Colorado Springs, Yowza, hope you in fact had a blast, hard not too, in one of my own favorite cities, ...... :smile:

    Friends around the campfire and every one is high, Colorado, Rocky Mountain High Colorado. Always remember the photo poster of a cat sleeping with Coors beer cans placed around and the caption was Rocky Mountain High.
