UNTIL HE AND HIS WIFE RECENTLY MOVED TO A CONDO. I BET IT’S A NICE CONDO! IS DEREK JETER IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS STAN MEW- ZEE- UHL? THAT’S WHAT POST-DISPATCH COLUMNIST BERNIE MIKLASZ WROTE AFTER JETER ANNOUNCED HE’S RETIRING AFTER THIS SEASON. MIKLASZ SAYS JETER WASN’T AS GOOD AS STAN THE MAN.. BUT WAS EVERY BIT AS POLITE, PROFESSIONAL AND COMMITTED AS THE ST. LOUIS ICON — WITH EXTRA CREDIT FOR PLAYING IN FRONT OF THE N-Y-C’S CRAZED FANS. ST. LOUISANS CAN CATCH JETER AT BUSCH ON HIS FAREWELL TOUR DURING A THREE- GAME SERIES BETWEEN THE YANKEES AND THE REDBIRDS STARTING MAY 26. AND WHO’S THIS GUY? VIDEO/AUDIO UP FULL NOT REALLY SURE.
