Derek Jeter never watches the playoffs once the Yankees are eliminated. But last October he made sure to go far, far away at the advice of one famous friend.
And that's Michael Jordan.
Jeter raved about how he could walk the streets and the hotel lobbies without anybody noticing him. But Jordan, not surprisingly, was not nearly as lucky.

Knowing that Jeter will travel across the world to become anonymous, I don't know how he manages to excel, while playing in the media capital of the world. He is a very remarkable individual.
I echo Roy's sentiments about Derek and focusing on his performance with the media attention. There is another side of the story. A person with his wealth and contacts made his first trip to Europe. Its true most folks don't get there on their on dime until the later stages of their life or with the AARP application. Also, few are as fortunate financially as Derek.
Derek smell the roses. You deserve it!
Good for Derek. Hopefully A-Rod took some quality time away too. On the opening day starter, as a fan who will be in attendance on 4/2/07, I hope Andy Pettitte starts, so he can receive a huge standing ovation.
A little late on this topic dont you think?
