Ian O'Connor's Blog: The Night Jeter Broke Gehrig's Record
http://ianoconnor.blogspot.com/2011/07/night-jeter-broke-gehrigs-record.html
Saturday, July 9, 2011. The Night Jeter Broke Gehrig's Record. From "The Captain: The Journey of Derek Jeter". So Sheppard shepherded him to the plate one more time. Now batting for the Yankees, Numbah 2, Derek Jeter, Numbah 2. The fans were standing and the camera lights were flashing until the mighty Casey struck out. The shortstop rounded first base, extended his arms wide, and clapped his hands together. It was 9:23 pm, and Derek Sanderson Jeter stood as the most prolific Yankee hitter of them all.

Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Jeter and Tiger and Scandal. From "The Captain: The Journey of Derek Jeter". The captain’s rocky 2010 actually started near the end of 2009, when his friend Tiger Woods was exposed as a serial adulterer in a scandal that would cost Woods his marriage and good name.Reports said that Jeter had introduced Tiger to one of his mistresses at the center of the storm, Rachel Uchitel, and that Jeter had also dated her at one time.

Ian O'Connor's Blog: May 2008
http://ianoconnor.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 1, 2008. Someone needs to explain to me how Mark Jackson is the leader in the Knicks' vacant clubhouse. I wrote a column about it in The Record. On Thursday, stating that Jackson shouldn't even be among the top five candidates to replace Isiah Thomas. I understand Jackson's an impressive guy to talk to, and I understand he's been smart enough to cultivate relationships in the media. But giving the most difficult job in the NBA to a complete novice just doesn't make any sense.

Ian O'Connor's Blog: April 2008
http://ianoconnor.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2008. I'll admit there's no easier target in American sports than Scott Boras, who, of course, brought it all on himself. He declared himself after the 2000 season, when he completely ignored A-Rod's wishes (to go to the Mets) and sold his services to the Texas Rangers for $252 million. Which brings me to this question: What position will Barry Zito offer to play when he jail-breaks from his personal Alcatraz in San Francisco? Boras is on some roll here. Defanged and defrocked by A-...

http://ianoconnor.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-jeter-got-extra-4-5-million-off.html
Tuesday, July 5, 2011. How Jeter Got An Extra 4-5 Million Off Randy Levine. From "The Captain: The Journey of Derek Jeter". Jeter was the one who had to scratch and claw for his money while millions of fascinated fans looked on. Inside his Trump home, Jeter told Levine he wanted more money added to the incentives clauses in the proposal. At the time the offer included bonuses for winning awards such as league MVP, World Series or League Championship Series MVP, Silver Slugger, and Gold Glove. As it turne...

Ian O'Connor's Blog: March 2008
http://ianoconnor.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2008. I admit it, I created this blog to sell books. Hopefully lots and lots of books. My second one, "Arnie and Jack: Palmer, Nicklaus, and Golf's Greatest Rivalry," is out this week, and I'm hoping Gary Player isn't the only one who buys it. So there you have it, a full confession. I've entered the blogosphere with something to sell. Imagine that. But just in case you missed the 17 other purchase links on this blog, you can buy " Arnie and Jack" here.
