NEW YORK -- Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig hopes one day Derek Jeter
will own a team after the 40-year-old shortstop retires as a player. Womens Ryan Shazier Jersey .
The New York Yankees captain, playing his 20th and final major league
season, says owning a team is the only job in baseball that interests
him.
"Hed be fabulous," Selig said at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday after
presenting Jeter with the Commissioners Historic Achievement Award.
"Anything I can do to help him, I will do. I think that much of him. Hes
thoughtful. Understands the sport. It would be a great thing in every
way."
Jeter, sixth on baseballs career hits list, has said managing, coaching
and broadcasting dont interest him. He will spend time working on his
Turn 2 Foundation and business ventures such as Jeter Publishing, a
partnership with Simon & Schuster, and Luvo, a food company
encouraging healthy nutrition that also struck an agreement with the
Yankees.
Jeter, who lives in Tampa, Florida, has said there is no way to
anticipate when a baseball ownership opportunity will arise.
"Its a little too early yet, but I would help him in every way," Selig
said, "and I think he would be tremendous."
Selig presented Jeter with a $222,222 check for his Turn 2 Foundation
and called him "the finest ambassador that I could have hoped for
throughout my entire tenure as commissioner."
He praised Jeters parents, saying "they did a remarkable job in a tough
era of raising a great young man,"
"When I was a kid, as Ive reminisced here today, my favourite player was
Joe DiMaggio," Selig said. "And what Joe D. meant to my generation is
what Derek has meant to his. And Ive been overjoyed to see Derek join
the heroes of my youth: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and all the
other greats."


Womens James Harrison Jersey . -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have released veteran guard Uche Nwaneri,
who started 63 of the teams last 64 games and didnt miss a snap last
season. Cheap Bud Dupree Jersey .
The native of St-Ferreol-les-Neiges, Que., was in the middle of the pack
for most of the freestyle sprint final but blasted down the hill into
the stadium to reach the final straightaway in fourth spot, where he
reeled in two Norwegians to lock up second place.MANCHESTER, England --
Lyoto Machidas middleweight debut was a resounding success, as he used a
spectacular high kick to score a knockout win over friend and training
partner Mark Munoz on Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night:
Machida vs. Munoz.
Machida, who was training with Munoz when he was tapped to replace an
injured Michael Bisping, looked quick and confident in his new division.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion patiently set up his striking
attacks while staying clear of any potential Munoz takedowns.
After a feint to the legs to drop his opponents guard, Machida rifled
off a left high kick that was partially blocked but was still strong
enough to send Munoz crashing to the floor. Machida followed to the
floor but realized additional strikes were unnecessary and held back
while referee Leon Hall stepped in to call off the fight at the 3:10
mark of the opening frame.
"It was very hard for me (to take the fight) because Mark is a good
friend of mine," Machida said. "But you know, as a professional, I dont
think about that and just do my job. But now that its over, the
friendship will continue."
With the win, Machida (20-4) established himself as an instant title
contender at 185 pounds. Munoz (13-4) falls to 1-2 in his past three
fights.
Machida also earned $50,000 for the "Knockout of the Night."
The nights co-feature was expected to deliver fireworks, but a
controversial foul call resulted in a disappointing "no contest" result.
Sluggers Melvin Guillard and Ross Pearson engaged from the opening bell,
both moving well and firing in quick punches.
When Pearson looked to explode into a flying knee, Guillard sidestepped
the technique, leading to a scramble as he pushed an off-balance Pearson
away. As Pearson scrambled up to his feet, Guillard blasted him with a
pair of knees that opened up a huge gash on Pearsons forehead.
Referee Marc Goddard ruled the second blow an unintentional foul,
claiming Pearsons hand was on the ground for the second knee, earning
him the protection of a "downed" fighter.
Doctors ruled the cut severe enough to end the fight, and the bout was
ruled a no contest.
English "Posterboy" Jimi Manuwa kept his professional record
unblemished, albeit in bizarre fashion, as an apparent leg injury ended
opponent Ryan Jimmos night.
Manuwa, a striking specialist, struggled to find space to strike. Jimmo,
a native of Saint John, N.B., kept the action tight and looked to work
inside from the clinch. Manuwa was getting the better of the action, but
the grinding work from Jimmo kept the pace low.
In the second round, Manuwa landed a solid knee as the two broke apart
in the clinch, and as Jimmo stepped back to recover, his leg buckled,
and he came crashing to the canvas. Unsure what was happening, Manuwa
looked to pounce with punches, but referee Neil Hall recognized the
injury and waved the fight off with 19 seconds left in the frame.
"The fight went how I thought itd go," Manuwa said. "I knew he was a
tough opponent. Hes strong, but I had his number. It was just a matter
of time before I caught him."
Manuwa remains (14-0) unbeaten, while Jimmo (18-3) falls to 1-2 in his
past three appearances. Cheap Cameron Heyward Jersey.
Norman Parke, the 26-year-old winner of "The Ultimate Fighter: The
Smashes," moved to 3-0 in the UFC with a convincing decision win over a
previously undefeated Jon Tuck.
Parke simply outworked his opponent from the opening bell, constantly
moving forward and landing heavy left hands and rapid-fire combinations.
While Tuck kept pace in the opening round, that changed over the course
of the final 10 minutes, and the action was decidedly one-sided. In the
end, Parke (19-2) outstruck Tuck (7-1) 154-76 according to a
FightMetric report, and was awarded a unanimous-decision win with scores
of 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28.
"It feels good, but I wanted the finish as people have said Im winning
on points," Parke said. "I felt good in there. I got in the groove, but I
didnt want to overcommit myself. I was happy with my boxing
performance, but next time I want the finish."
Swedish newcomer Nicholas Musoke made the most of his first UFC
opportunity, scoring a slick submission win over longtime veteran
Alessio Sakara.
Musoke and Sakara went toe-to-toe from the opening bell, firing punches
in an entertaining slugfest. As they moved into a clinch, a Musoke trip
takedown moved the action to the floor. Sakara alertly swept to the top,
but Musoke spun his hips out and locked quick armbar, turning to his
belly for additional torque and earning a verbal submission at the 3:07
mark of the first frame.
"It feels awesome; its a dream come true," Musoke said after the win.
"Being in the Octagon was special and it got to me a bit more than I
thought it would. (UFC site coordinator) Burt Watson said a good thing
to me yesterday -- making it here is easier than staying here -- and I
want to prove I belong here."
Musoke (11-2-1), who replaced an injured Magnus Cedenblad on just
two-weeks notice, now boasts a six-fight overall win streak. Sakara
(15-11) is now winless in four UFC outings.
In the nights first main-card matchup, top flyweight contender John
Lineker outstruck grappling specialist Phil Harris en route to an
impressive first-round win.
Harris was never able to bring the fight to the floor and was instead
forced to box with the heavy-handed Lineker, who took full advantage of
the opportunity. Lineker battered Harris with powerful hooks on the feet
before finally dropping him with a thunderous left to the body that
forced a TKO stoppage at the 2:51 mark of the opening frame.
"The fight went how I wanted it; I wanted to strike," Lineker said after
the fight. "Everyone who steps in the Octagon is tough, and I just work
my hardest to get the best results. Were going to sit down and see
whats next, but I am looking forward to celebrating."
Lineker (23-6) owns four straight UFC wins, but his status as a title
contender is questionable after he missed weight for Saturdays fight,
marking the third time in five UFC appearances hes failed to hit the
required mark. Harris (22-11) falls to 1-2 in the UFC.
