Ooooooooooh, Keith is evil! 'How dare you disparage The Jeter!?' hahaha
He makes great points, but there's more to this game than numbers.
I have to agree that this whole farewell tour has sometimes gotten a little out of hand. But it would look bad if Mariano got one (entirely deserved imo) and Jeter didn't, so there wassn't really a better way to deal with this.
Still, Jeter deserves my respect. Numbers show he wasn't the great player he's made out to be, but his character makes up for a lot of that. Again, numbers aren't everything.
