Just saw it on Sportscenter.. not sure how true this is.

They said Torre took him out, and then after told Jeter, "sorry!! forgot about the streak" and Jeter said "That's OK." They were both unaware of the rule.

From the AP story:
[ QUOTE ]
Yankees manager Joe Torre at first forgot about the streak when he pinch hit for Jeter in the seventh.

``I apologized,'' Torre said. ``He said, `I wasn't going to catch him, anyway,''' a reference to Joe DiMaggio's record 56-game streak.

Then Torre found out that Jeter's streak continued under the rules. Jeter, whose .346 average is second in the AL to Minnesota's Joe Mauer (.348), can't avoid the streak these days.

But Yankee haters will chose to think the worst...

[/ QUOTE ]My response to all of this is simply "Who cares?". Just seems like people making a story out of nothing.
