09/11: Outrageous Speculation...
Posted by: Jason
...is always enjoyable:
Jeter is clearly "locked in" at the plate. If he hits safely in the remainder of this season's games, his hit streak will stand at 41.
Some intriguing questions would be raised:
1) Do the playoffs count as consecutive games, or would Jeter receive a pass until April 2007?
2) Since the Yankee Clipper's record was acheived in 56 contiguous games, would a Jeter hit streak that carried over to '07 receive an asterisk similar to Woods's "Tiger Slam" of a few years ago? Perhaps continuing the hit streak in the '07 regular season would be considered an even greater feat?
3) Could this topic be any more premature?
With the dangerous Sal Fasano's decision to pick up Alex's slack and power the offense, the Yankees are apparently on autopilot into the postseason. The Yankees Universe needs some intrigue!!!
