TAMPA, Fla. — Derek Jeter had a miserable offseason he would rather forget.
Not only did the New York Yankees captain not win another World Series ring, his season ended when he had to be helped off the field because of a broken ankle.
Line Up, Shut Up, and Maybe Mr. Jeter Will Sign

‘Dancing With The Stars: All Stars’: Shawn Johnson And Mark Ballas Reunite For A Perfect Score (VIDEO)
Proving that every cloud has a silver lining, Derek Hough’s injury enabled his partner, Shawn Johnson, to reunite with Mark Ballas on this week’s “Dancing with the Stars: All Stars.” Absence obviously makes the heart grow fonder, because the former champions tangoed their way to a perfect score, in a performance that Carrie Ann called “seamless.” Because of the presidential election on Tuesday, all the “DWTS” contestants will receive a week of safety, with the Nov. 5 scores being added to next week’s results to determine who will be sent home in the double elimination.
