The Last Year

There’s a lot of last things this year like my last year in High School, the last time I see certain people, and the last time a hero of mine is retiring. Leaving HS is going to be different and not seeing people I cared about will suck but nothing will hurt more than seeing one of Baseball’s greats leaving the game. Most people already know how much Baseball means to me, but loosing the shortstop you looked up to your entire career sucks. This will be Derek Jeter’s last season in a Yankee uniform and the last time the world will see the greatest shortstop to ever live. For the kids who come after my era the eras after, I hope the gold standard will be called the Jeter standard. And yes I did capitalize Baseball because it’s not a game, it’s a way of life and every little kids dream. Respect it.
