The way a guy like Jeter approaches the game (at least in my head), you see him hustling down the line and it just feels like you should forfeit, right there. So he's leading off first base and all I can think is, "Ohno ohno ohno oh no **** **** ****."
Luckily Jon Garland's not blessed or cursed with my head. All Jeter does is lead off first for the entire second Yankees at-bat, scratching his butt while dawdling back to the bag after Randy Winn pops up a 1-2 fastball into the seats to keep the count alive, clapping his hands while the count runs to 2-2 and then 3-2, and staring ahead when Garland fires a fastball past the center fielder for a swing and a miss strike three.
One away, and here comes Mr. Clutch himself.
