I saw the point you were making, and it's valid. I wasn't simply replying to you, this idea that Jeter should refuse his Gold Gloves, etc. has been made quite a few times in this thread.Read the quoted post. I'm only trying to illustrate that the idea that he isn't playing because he's embarrassed and knows he doesn't deserve it is absurd. Gold Gloves and Hank Aaron Awards are more select and prestigious honors than All-Star selections, and he has never been too embarrassed to accept them. So the idea that he was too embarrassed to go to the All-Star Game, knowing he didn't deserve it, is a bit absurd.
I should have been more clear.
