Another funny thing about perceptions in baseball.
Here is an example of a superstar supposedly getting calls and the players awe of media darlings.
This is part of the ESPN article on Buck Showalter.
"The first time we went to Yankee Stadium, I screamed at Derek Jeter from the dugout," Showalter said in Men's Journal, according to the Bergen Record. "Our guys are thinking, 'Wow, he's screaming at Derek Jeter.' Well, he's always jumping back from balls just off the plate. I know how many calls that team gets -- and yes, he [ticks] me off."
Buck is right, Jeter does get favorable treatment.
