So, Derek Jeter, what are your hopes? What are your dreams? Oh, it’s moving into that freaking gigantic house you bought this winter? Oh good, we can make that happen.

(That’s no moon parking garage…)

The statue-immobile gritty shortstop is building one of the largest mansions we’ve ever seen, a grand display of opulence to put other displays of opulence to shame. Gee, where’d he get the idea to do that? As the pictures show, the frame of the house accurately matches what Jeter’s cleats seem to be made of these days: concrete.

(Three cars? What, is that just for the northeast quadrant? Seems like this place needs an entire lot.)

(Just to review, this is one house. For one person. Who’s single.)

All pictures are via TBO.COM and FACK YOUK. And hey, while we’re not going to begrudge a man who wants to spend $30 million on real estate (straight cash, as we’ll remind you), this seems like an astonishing money pit. Let’s say Jeter spends half that money on a house that’s a third as big. Those are major, major reductions, and they’re still far above what Alex Rodriguez built, and he’s only the highest-paid player in MLB history.

But whatever. The money’s doing the economy a little better in the hands of contractors, concrete distributors, and construction companies than it is just collecting dust and interest in Jeter’s bank account. This just seems more than a little like prideful waste, something you wouldn’t normally associate with someone who made a career off an image of bulls**t ethereal qualities like leadership and intangibles.
