While the New York Yankees are looking to close out the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series this week, Bronx community planners are talking about a way to honor one of the Yank's stars. According to the New York Post, Bronx leaders are in discussions to name the borough's soon-to-be-built East 153rd Street bridge after shortstop Derek Jeter.

"There have been conversations at the community board, and I know the idea is being examined," Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. told the New York Post. "It's something I am ready to support. We're moving on it."

The $87-million bridge would be 512 feet long and span the Metro North tracks that bisect East 153rd Street, between Park Avenue and the Grand Concourse.

In other Jeter news, before Game 4 of the World Series, he was given the Hank Aaron Award after fans voted him the best offensive player in his league. He also received the Roberto Clemente Award, which is given to a player who combines community service with excellence on the field.

"Any award that's named after Hank Aaron, to me, is very special. What he has represented, not only in his playing days, but how he handled himself when he was playing off the field and to this day," Jeter said, "I have the utmost respect for him. This is an award that means a lot to me."
