Wake Up With Joba Chamberlain Plunking Derek Jeter
Did you know this play was the reason that they included the Derek Jeter shooting part in "The Other Guys"? It's not true but it sounded good. I'm surprised the fans let Joba leave the stadium after he plunked the oh holy captain right on the elbow. Like the announcer said, everyone pitched Jeter inside because if you didn't he'd bloop one into a kids glove in the right field bleachers, so you pitch him inside and since he's not wearing an elbow guard, sometimes you catch a stray. That's what happened here. The fans were PISSSSED. Listen to that "BOOOO" in the top of the 10th. Not like Joba is putting guys on base on purpose in extras. He knew right away he screwed up too. I bet he's not the only former Yankee who would have jumped at the chance to plunk Jeter though. I did like seeing him apologize and let Jeter know it wasn't on purpose. What a guy Joba is.
