A huge hat-tip to Steve Lombardi for pointing out this column from Kevin Kernan in the Post today. Classic:
The bond of winning a championship together has created a tighter bond between Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter.
They drove here together yesterday from Tampa for the Yankees’ split-squad 6-0 win over the Pirates. And they left together. Before the game they played catch and long toss together, ran together in the outfield and even walked into the clubhouse together along the right-field line at 12:01 after they were done with their early work while a group of Yankees were still taking batting practice.
“They’ve definitely grown closer,” one Yankee official told me.
They are laughing and joking together more, and during Sunday’s workout in Tampa they spent a lot of time talking in short leftfield on a back field. They are enjoying being teammates.
Isn’t it just the sweetest thing imaginable? Remember that, in their halcyon days as bright-eyed young shortstops, long before their well-publicized falling out, when egos and contracts and world championships got in the way, A-Rod and Jeets used to have sleepovers five times a week.
Spring Training is a beautiful time for hope and redemption. Jeter and A-Rod’s friendship is in the best shape of its life.

That paragraph is hilarious. “together… together… together.” Aw, springtime.
Derek and Alex were such great friends, that they would often plan their sleepovers on the field while Derek’s starting catcher (and current manager) was getting the snot kicked out of him on the field. Oh Derek, you’re such a great friend, and such a great leader. I can never get enough fluff pieces from the NY press about you and your intangibles. Because, as we all know, without those intangibles and leadership, Mariano’s cutter wouldn’t cut, A-Rod’s homers would fall short, CC’s slider wouldn’t break, Clemens’ roids wouldn’t rage….
