Derek Jeter has informed Alex Rodriguez that the ball is not going to him enough and if the Yankees are going to win the World Series like they did in 1939, 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000, he needs to be getting the ball more. Jeter claims that players are hitting the ball right to him, but A-Rod is cutting the ball off at third base and throwing the runner out at first. Jeter wants to win a gold glove this season and A-Rod is taking away from his opportunities to show off to the voters. Furthermore, A-Rod's heroics at the plate is taking away from Jeter's reputation as being the leader of the Yankees.
Jeter posted on his official Twitter page that teams win championships, not individuals. The ball needs to be spread around evenly he goes on to say. Jeter states that he's not being selfish, he just wants to make all of the plays in the field so he can get all the credit when the team wins the World Series.
Shortly after demanding the ball more, Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens friended Jeter on Facebook.
