Yankee fans keep telling me he will start slumping anytime now, will drop popups and strike out, just like he has throughout his Yankee carrier. The AL MVP in 2003 and 2005 (the second as a Yankee) who had that horrible slump last year where he batted .290, hit 35 HR, drove in 121 runs and scored 113 while stealing 15 bases.
Come on, the man belts 12 long balls in 15 games while batting in 30 runs, effectively keeping the Yanks within range of the AL East lead while the rotation is decimated. Is he lauded as truly one of the greatest players in the game? Yes, but seemingly by everyone except Yankee fans. What is it he has to do to be respected? Please don't say win the World Series, that is a team acomplishment, this is not basketball where one player can carry a team, however good he is.
Or am I just talking to the wrong Yankee fans?
