In this week’s magazine, Will Leitch goes down the rabbit hole and writes about the underexposed, neglected, barely ever mentioned superstar Derek Jeter. Money quote: “Baseball is an unpredictable game; failure is a constant. But Jeter doesn’t allow himself to absorb it, or even really acknowledge it. He just keeps cruising along, as if playing shortstop for the most scrutinized, glorified sports franchise in the world every day for the past fourteen years is the most natural thing on earth.” Read it, and not just because Will is writing this post and pretending he isn’t.
