Jeter's October Filled By Advertisers, Not Baseball
29th October, 2008 - 8:07 am
ESPN - Yankees' shortstop Derek Jeter has spent his October working on marketing campaigns instead of playing baseball.

Jeter and Tiger Woods were in Orlando working on the Gillette Champions promotions, including for a global online video gaming competition that opens Friday.

"We were just playing a game, which I beat him in a few times," Jeter said. "We've got video, photos, all the proof."

Jeter sat out the postseason for the first time in his career.

"It feels like it should be about the middle of November, so it's been a little awkward," said Jeter. "I see highlights of them. If I'm not playing in it, I don't really want to sit around and watch, but I'd be lying to you if I said I'm not interested in what's going to happen." [READ]
