5-at-10: Goodbye 2014 and don’t let the door hit you

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter (2) waves to fans as he walks around the infield after driving in the winning run against the Baltimore Orioles in the ninth inning of a baseball game Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014, in New York. The game, which the Yankees won 6-5, was Jeter's last home game of his career.

Today’s 5-at-10 a not-so-quick sports top five. Please feel free to leave your favorite moment or hit me on Twitter at @jgreesontfp. Also, please know that the web staff has heard the complaints and is working feverishly to get a better commenting system back in place. Truth of the matter is the end of the year commenting debacle on the 5-at-10 has been a microcosm of the 2014 sports year, a year in which the moment became too big for some of our favorite things.

From the “Talks to much” studios, everyone have a safe New Year’s Eve, and we’ll try to update the bowl standings tomorrow morning going into the Jan. 1 games. Deal? Deal.

Dichotomous sports moments of 2014 (no particular order)

It was awesome and inspiring and fun to watch her pitch, and the two lasting takeaways from it are a tough defeat and the NCAA had to rule about her eligibility she a hoops ace that openly said she want to play for UConn because of her new-found fame. Egad.
