“Derek Jeter 3K” Documentary Premieres Tonight at 9 p.m. on HBO

It chronicles Jeter’s chase of 3,000 career hits and features new interviews with Reggie Jackson, Hal Steinbrenner, Joe Torre and Minka Kelly, among others. It also was the first time that Jeter wore a microphone during the game. Nice work by HBO and MLB Productions getting that to happen.” - Neil Best, Newsday

I think our fans have been great. I think particularly in Game 3 of the World Series they just blew away anything I’ve seen in any venue during the postseason. I thought Yankee fans, frankly, were awful. They were either violent or apathetic, neither of which is good. So I thought Yankee fans were by far the worst of any I’ve seen in the postseason. I thought they were an embarrassment.

The fans did not do good things in my heart. When people are staring at you, and saying horrible things, it’s hard not to take it personal.

Kristen Lee - Fans’ treatment of Cliff Lee’s wife at Yankee Stadium might not help the Yankees’ recruitment of one of the game’s top left-handed pitchers. During the AL Championship Series games in New York between the Yankees and Rangers, fans were extremely rude to Kristen Lee, spitting and throwing beer in her direction and shouting obscenities, according to USA TodayESPN
