Jeter (Yanks 6, Indians 5)


As Jeter came to bat with two outs and nobody on base in the bottom of the 8th with the score tied at 5, one thought came to my mind:
"He's going to have a great at bat. What will his strategy be?
a. Work a walk and steal second? Or
b. Try to get to 2-0 or 3-1 and swing for the fences? Four Yankees have hit home runs today, including Melky Cabrera, and Jeter doesn't have a hit yet. He prefers to hit home runs in the late innings of close games. Maybe he'll try for a home run."
The answer: b
