Flashbulbs go off. Is he gonna do it? Three to tie. Four to set the record. Not yet. I've actually heard, albeit from only a handful of fans, people saying, "I hope he doesn't do it. That's Lou Gehrig's record!" Speaking for Mr. Gehrig (my good friend just used "Gehrig" for his son's middle name), I don't think he will mind. To be cliche, Derek Jeter is a class act. Since joining the Majors in 1995, Jeter has dodged the news for anything negative, the Mitchell Report, and the whole "Steroid Era". I hope he breaks Gehrig's record and then some. Oh Captain, My Captain.
