Aiyyo! Who can test I, the true King of New York? Well ever since Big Boy died from Bed-Stuy I’ve been, controllin the street, holdin the heat. -Fat Joe
Public Service Announcement: I really don’t like to write this one. Rather go on a hunger strike than write this one. Off a cliff with my mountain bike than write this one. But alas, write this one I must. I have to give credit where credit is due. Credit is now due to one Derek Sanderson Jeter. The King of New York. The King is dead! Long live the King! The hit king that is. You all know by now that New York Yankees shortstop, Derek Jeter, passed Babe Ruth on the all-time hits list with an RBI single in the second inning of a 7-2 win over my beloved Boston Red Sox on Sunday night. Hooray Derek Jeter! But did you know that yesterday, while recording the 2,876th hit of his career with a single in the fifth inning in the Yankees’ 2-1 loss to the Red Sox, he tied Mel Ott for the most career hits for any player while playing for a New York team. O is for Ott of the restless right foot. When he leaned on the pellet, the pellet stayed put. Huh? Didja? Well, like Bell Biv DeVoe, now you know.

Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
