The adulation surrounding Derek Jeter’s retirement tour is slowly reaching insane levels. He’s receiving gifts from opposing teams as if he was a visiting god from Mt. Ruth. The average cost of a ticket to his final Yankees’ home game is now about $845. The Yankees even have caps with Jeter-patches on the side, as if he’s already reached Yankees-sainthood. It is almost as if the scope of the celebration of Derek Jeter’s career far outstrips his actual accomplishments.

If you feel like the fawning accolades that Derek Jeter is receiving right now are a bit outlandish, then Keith Olbermann has you covered.
