May have stayed around to long?

With this being Jeter's final season, I got to thinking about some other final seasons,

Pete Rose (72 games) 0 / 25 / 219
Henry Aaron (85 games) 10 / 35 / 229
Willie Mays (66 games) 6 / 25 / 211
Eddie Murray (55 games) 3 / 18 / 222
Dave Winfield (46 games) 2 / 4 / 191
Harmon Killibrew (106 games) 14 / 44 / 199
Mickey Mantle (144 games) 18 / 54 / 237
Cal Ripkin (128 games) 14 / 68 / 239




I guess sometimes its just hard to let go.

...when the season began I thought if DJ could play 100 games and bat .270 and not get embarrassed defensively, it would be a bonus.

...so far, he's exceeded my expectations. I'm just sorry that this year's team may not be able to send both him and Ichiro off into the sunset as WS Champs.

I said earlier in the year that I'd be okay with 5 / 50 / 260 And honestly I really didn't think his ankle would hold up to a full season so yeah he's exceeded my expectations also. I just wish he could have had one more playoff.

...but wouldn't that mean that he'd have to return all those neat "parting gifts"?

And aside from the money how many of the other things does he still have.
