Talk Bronx New York

Derek Jeter has always provided structure to the New York Yankees’ lineup.

Now he may bring a structure to the city itself.

From the New York Post:

Bronx leaders have proposed naming the soon-to-be-built East 153rd Street bridge for the Yankee shortstop.

“There have been conversations at the community board, and I know the idea is being examined,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., a Bombers fan who confesses to a “man crush” on the Captain.

“It’s something I am ready to support. We’re moving on it.”

The 512-foot-long “Derek Jeter Bridge” would span the Metro-North tracks that bisect East 153rd Street between Park Avenue and the Grand Concourse. It will cost $87 million.

Community Board 4 District Manager José Rodriguez confirmed that the idea was being considered.

We always thought it was the bridge to Mariano.
