In case you doubt­ed my the­o­ry that New York news­pa­pers en­joy crit­i­ciz­ing the size of base­ball stars’ gen­i­tals, I fur­ther sub­mit this piece of ev­i­dence from to­day’s Post.

The ed­i­tor must be from Boston. Why else would they per­sist in this diminu­tion of proud yan­kee gen­i­tals? In­ter­est­ing­ly, the word “j’eter” is Malay for ‘horse fly testes.’ Ap­par­ent­ly, up­on im­mi­grat­ing to Amer­i­ca, Grand­pa Jeter se­lect­ed the name un­der the er­ro­neous as­sump­tion that it meant ‘horse testes.’
