Kruk is correct. In 2002, the All-Star game ended in a tie because both teams didn't want to keep playing after 10 innings. Then a few years later, a superstar like Jeter opts out after being voted-in by the fans. These little things add up and ruin the All-Star game. Once the fans catch on that the players don't seem to care about the All-Star game, the fans stop caring. Take the NFL Pro-Bowl for example, it used to be a meaningful game a few decades ago. Now, NOBODY watches it.

For one thing, if the game matters, why are the fans voting on it? That's just a popularity contest, and not necessarily the best players. Both leagues should be fielding the best team possible, like a play-off game, instead of this nonsense they got going on now

Naturally the black guy covering for the black guy. Typical.

In A FISH BOWL......

He should be there, period. You get voted in, you come to the game.

When John Kruk met Chuck Norris... Chuck shook HIS hand

You tell em Krukker. Jeter was voted in by his fanbase and he didn't show up, how ignorant

Well I must have missed the "explosion"............

John Kruk = 1 of the greatest Las Vegas Stars hitters ever

Kruk is right

John was right!! Come on man show your gratitude and get on your luxury jet snacking on caviar and show up!!

Greatest player of our generation??? Come on bobby V. Pujols, Griffey, bonds, chipper, Maddox , big unit, just to name a few. Jeter was a very good hitter who was always batting # 2 on the best team money can buy. Always got balls to hit. Defense was historically bad. He definitely a HOf but benefits greatly from playing in Gotham.

If this is exploding I highly recommend you do not visit Philadelphia, New York, Boston, et al. 😂

Jeter was always about Jeter first.

... It's sad that players and teams don't give a shit about the All Star Game anymore, even with the "home field for the World Series" gimmick attached to it. I don't blame old school guys like Valentine and Kruk being upset about this.

The beginning of the Jeter jerk era.

No exploding whatsoever. The title is a LIE. I hope you're proud.

I was at this All Star Game and was a complete joke. Too many Damn replacement. And Dbags organization and the fans got robbed on this one.

Him no-showing is a giant "fuck you" to the fans and some of them (judging these comments, here), apparently, are too damned blind to see that. Barry Larkin's commentary was so chicken shit. Just call a spade a spade like Kruk was doing. The excuses people will make for others who are rich and famous is simply mind-boggling.

Icecreamforcrowtoo I have to agree with John Kruk, and the interesting thing is that Jeter is known for doing the right thing and doing whatever will avoid making a bad impression. Derek Jeter was usually not a selfish person. As Captain, he answered questions every night and never hid. I'm not going to be as hard on him as John was, but perhaps the reason John was a bit peeved was because he saw this gesture as being out of character for Derek.

Who cares? Jeter has 5 World Series rings. That's why the game is played. Nothing to prove at a meaningless all star game in Arizona of all places.

John Kruk deliberately struck out against Randy Johnson in the 1993 All-Star game. He's laughed about it ever since. Naturally Kruk would say that Jeter just needs to show up, tip his hat, and take it easy. That's Kruk's attitude toward the All-Star game. But Jeter can't do that. He takes every game seriously. He's the reason for the AL dominance in the past decade. I hate the AL, I don't like the Yankees, but I respect Derek Jeter. I have no respect for John Kruk and he should shut up.

When Maris hit his 61 his hair was falling out and he puked before every game. Jeter needed the break. It's a player choice if he wants to be at the AS game if chosen. Jeter is an all star whether the fans choose him or not that's something you get when you break a record like he did.
