2002 marked a return to the playoffs for Derek Jeter, but it was also a year where he did not always display the form at the plate that fans on both coasts have become accustomed to. But, where one brother stumbled, another regained his footing as Darryl was able to rekindle his mastery of the batters box in route to another .300+ season after batting only .250 during his first 64 games as a Giant. In other news, Ted Williams had his head separated from his body and frozen - he and his children agreed to each have it done so they could once again be together at some point in the future. So there is that.

*One of the most enjoyable things about OOTP is that it is constantly giving us little gifts. First, I got Dave Winfield as my first HOFer, then the dominant debut of Albert Pujols, and lastly, and perhaps most importantly as a life long M's fan, I got Jamie Moyer as AL Pitcher of the Year! Now that my friends is an absolute gift!

Achievements (2002)

Donny Jeter (Chicago White Sox)

On the field, Donny didn't quite live up to the offensive output he delivered in Colorado (but who does?), but, as is often the case for the Jeter Bros, he was an All-Star off the field, splitting his time between Cameron Diaz, Christina Ricci, and Jennifer Connelly if the tabloids are to be believed. If there were a Hall of Fame for off the field shenanigans, it's safe to say that Donny is a lock for first ballot.

Darryl Jeter (San Francisco Giants)

Walk-off RBI single versus the Baltimore Orioles on June 22nd, 2002, final score 6-5.
6+ RBI: 3 for 4, 2B, 3B, HR, 7RBI, BB versus the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on June 19th, 2002.

Derek Jeter (Los Angeles Dodgers)

While Derek's on the field game failed to deliver any historic moments in 2002, his off the field game remained strong as he split his time between BP and Ali Larter throughout the season.
