Whee, I made a new icon! I spotted this photo (taken by Matthew West) in the Herald this morning (yeah, I'm still reading the Herald, I'm weak) and knew immediately that it had to be an icon. So, I am thrilled that it was available online. I love Bellhorn. I love him as a player and I love him because, well, yum.
In other news, the Sox will be getting their World Series rings on home opening day, even though they're playing the Yankees. Apparently, someone somewhere thought this was a problem because OMG we might hurt the Yankees's feelings, so there was a possibility that the ring ceremony might be postponed. But the rest of the world (well, the part that cares) recognized that the Yankees are grown men, except for A-Rod, and they'll survive a ring ceremony, so that idea was put away right quick.
The reason why I bring it up now, as opposed to when it was relevant, is because of this article, which, among other things, serves to remind us that thanks to Derek Jeter, there is a little class to be found on that team:
"They earned it. They beat us. They've been waiting for this for a long time. Let them go ahead and celebrate. I don't see that in a negative light at all."
And he is the only Yankee player to say anything on the subject, just like he was the only Yankee player to eventually congratulate the Sox. So, he wins. You know. Off the field. And I officially give up on even trying to pretend that I still share in the Jeter hate. Because I just don't anymore. Although I do reserve the right to freak out at the television when his physical mannerisms are really getting on my nerves.
