Aw, some news gives ya
A throbbin hard peter
Like the career hit stats of handsome Derek Jeter
He's not as light as a jar of Hellman's Mayonaise
But not as dark as that colored guy Willie Mays
Can I see your papers, Willie
Whatchya doing on this street?
Why you wearin that hoodie?
I feel as if it's threat'nin' me
America is great with her flag flying everywhere
And the great Mitt Romney
In his magic Mormon underwear
We gotta celebrate the white
And be fearful of the dark
So t's time to bring back
The segregated baseball park

Now is this a real record, or is it going to be asterisked with the little "thanks to the help of performance enhancing drugs" footnote?

I honestly don't keep up enough to know if Jeter is one of the real players or one who thinks pumping up means injections with a hypodermic needle.

Jeter has had zero suspicions on his career over steroids despite being surrounded by teammates accused or guilty of such things.

Mays was still better. Played in worst stadiums for hitters and better defensive player to mention power. Plus had to deal with racism while Jeter's from a generation reaping benefits of commercials, focus groups, and where being inoffensive is the best virtue for a popular athlete. Not saying Jeter's a bad guy or anything, he's a great player but just seems programmed. Then again, I am not a Yankees fan.
