sounds like he's readying himself for The Jeter Show come october:

The ball caromed off a sign for an investment company beyond one of the waterfalls at Kauffman Stadium, bounced once and nearly hit Derek Jeter in the face - at least in his photo on the video screen.

... Jeter's homer was estimated at 432 feet, though that might have been a little low. Flaherty told Jeter it ought to be worth "one-and-a-half" homers in the box score.

"Wait'll Reggie (Jackson) hears about this one," Torre said. "He always talks about going in the water here but over the water is pretty special."

Jeter laughed when someone brought up Jackson's name. "You're going to get Reggie started, huh?" he said. [daily news]
