scribblinlenore | Yuletide campaigning: A-Rod/Jeter porn (Reply)

The

yuletide nominations are up. Now, I've never actually done Yuletide before, but this year, my dear, dear

punny has taken a slashy interest in the Yankees. This pleases me very, very much. So I'm going to do Yuletide, and I'm going to help Punny advocate for Jeter/A-Rod RFP (or JeteRod, as I like to call it). Because, as Punny says, they deserve to have at least as much smut written about them as Jsquared or the boy bands.

Some of you may remember that once upon a time I drew a line in the sand about baseball slash, but, hey, you know how sand is. A big wind blows up, and there goes your line! Besides, when the subjects themselves talk in public about their sleepovers and have a breakup to rival Beniffer's in media coverage, then all bets are off, I say.

For the JeteRod saga in a nutshell, read this:

Please note the sleepovers five nights a week.

And here's some visual persuasion:

They can still make each other smile. Even now that the salad days of their relationship have passed.

Speaking of salad days, once upon a time someone at Sports Illustrated thought it would be a good idea to have a group shot of all the upcoming young shortstops without their shirts on. Once upon a time, someone at Sports Illustrated was a GENIUS! If you look closely, you'll see that JeteRod are touching, and possibly holding hands.

A-Rod went through this phase when he first came over to the Yankees of giving Jeter big bear hugs after they won a game. When asked by the media, he said he told Derek while he was hugging him that he was the greatest ~~lay~~ player in the world.
