It is pretty simple actually... being a Mets fan with a best friend who is a Yankee fan through the 80's all I would ever hear about is how Donnie Baseball is the greatest this.. or the best at that.. with his smug fucking face in the paper or on TV. The more the Yankee fans loved him the more I grew to despise him. There is only one player in the history of MLB I hate more, and that is Larry Jones, that guy can go fuck himself to the sweet spot of his bat.
Oddly enough... I hold no hate for Jeter
