After the July 4th weekend is finally over, I had a chance to look at this week’s submissions of the image of Jeter and A-Rod. I thought this would be a great picture for everyone to get a shot in on Alex Rodriguez and it happened just as I thought. So, this week’s winner is Gene P.
Gene’s caption read, “That’s why I don’t marry them.” (which is probably what Jeter was telling Rodriguez at that very moment) Congratulations Gene! I’ll be sending an email your way shortly.

It’s time for the July 4th edition of ‘Create the Caption’ at Inside the Ballpark. Alex Rodriguez has announced that he and his wife are splitting.

If you’ve got a funny caption to add to the photo, now is the time to submit it! This week’s winner will receive another unopened pack of baseball cards. To enter the contest – just leave a comment with your funny caption or email …read more
