During the 2010 season, Jeter's batting average dipped to .260 after going one for seven during a September 10 game. Yankees manager Joe Girardi decided to sit Jeter for the following game on September 12, saying "There is still a ton of faith...I surely wouldn't bet against him that he is not going to finish up strong and be the Derek Jeter that we know he can be."sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/sto...
