Will Gary Sheffield Retire As A Yankee?
Gary Sheffield recently told reporters that he would like to retire as a Yankee. More specifically, he said that he would find it difficult to play for another team after having experienced the benefits of playing for the Bombers.

Personally, I hope that Gary Sheffield does indeed retire as a Yankee. I think that he is one of the best hitters in the game, and should remain productive over the next 2-3 seasons.
In a way, I feel sorry for Gary Sheffield. I feel sorry for him because he just doesn't have enough self control to command the money that he deserves.
Do you really believe that Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez are better hitters than Gary Sheffield? I actually believe that Gary Sheffield is a better hitter than both of them.
But A-Rod and Jeter will have made over 250 million and 200 million dollars, respectively, by the time that their careers are over. And there's no doubt that they will have earned tens of millions more from their endorsements.
The main reason why A-Rod and Jeter command much more money than Sheffield is that they don't make comments that create tension and headaches for their teammates and management.
Gary Sheffield would probably reply to this viewpoint by saying that he doesn't pretend for anyone. That he will always tell it like it is and the world should take it or leave it.
Here's the thing: Sheffield's mindset has likely cost him tens of millions of dollars.
So Gary, if you are reading this post, please consider pretending just a little bit. Respond to questions like Jeter would and keep working hard like you always have and I am confident that you will earn another 30 plus million over the next three years.
