Home Run Derby

Keeping with the theme instilled by Alfonso Soriano’s massive car stereo, we’re do some more car-related posts here at Home Run Derby.

Check this out … could this be Derek Jeter’s ride, parked outside a train station in New Jersey?

Uh … I’m guessing that’s a big “No.” 

First of all, I don’t belive the Captain lives in Jersey.  Even if he did, he probably wouldn’t be caught dead driving that car … or taking the train for that matter.  And besides, Jetes doesn’t need to advertise – hot chicks just seem to find him.

But wow.  That’s an impressive piece of rolling Jeter-fanboy worship.  I bet that guy (or girl) walks around wearing a “What Would Jeter Do” t-shirt.

It’s got everything except a personalized license plate that says LV JETES.   Yankee Pinstripes, Yankees logo, interlocking NY logo, baseball stitching, MLB logos, Jeter’s #2, and check out the signature on the trunk.

Did you ever notice that Baseball Players have great big rides? 

Last Spring, we showed you Mark Buehrle’s big-ass Ford F-150 Dominator.  The Spring before that, we saw Jon Lieber’s F-150 Super Truck.

This year we’ll head to the North Side of Chicago to check out Cubs’ Outfielder Alfonso Soriano’s tricked out Hummer H2.

Now, Soriano’s ride isn’t exactly a four-wheeled beast like the Ford F-150 SuperTruck, but it’s got it’s merits. 

Especially the sound system, installed by Abt Electronics of Glenview, IL.  Check this out.
