Derek Jeter's forged signature shows up on NYC politician's petition

If you believe a local New York City politician's petition, Derek Jeter has given up his Trump Tower penthouse to live at a rundown, six-floor walkup on Lafayette Ave. in the South Bronx.

It would be convenient. Since it's only a one-stop ride on the No. 4 train to Yankee Stadium.

According to the petition, Jeter's new neighbors include New York Giants defensive tackle Rocky Bernard and sportscaster Joe Buck as well. 

That is, if you don't question the list of signatures submitted by embattled City Councilwoman Maria del Carmen Arroyo.

Arroyo’s political team gathered 3,863 signatures — far more than the 450 she needs to make the ballot for her re-election bid.

Coincidental maybe? But her challenger is disputing 3,437 of the signatures.

Two pages in particular are Exhibit A and B in the challenge.

One page is filled with signatures that appear to be forgeries, including those of Jeter, Bernard, and Buck — though it is unclear if the Buck signature is meant to be the sportscaster or the fictional character at the center of iconic New York film, “Midnight Cowboy.”

Another page of signatures collected by a different campaign staffer features identical handwriting on every line.

Residents of the Hunts Point think the petitions are blatant forgeries.

"I've never seen Jeter here," said resident Juanita Velasquez. "Only on my wall."

Joe Buck to pull double duty and call both football and baseball Giants on Sunday

To say the least, Joe Buck has a Giant task ahead of him on Sunday.

As FOX's lead football and baseball announcer, Buck will be in the Bay Area to call both the New York Giants-San Francisco 49ers NFL regular season game and the San Francisco Giants-St. Louis Cardinals NLCS Game 1 matchup.  One right after the other.

The NFL game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET, while the first pitch for the MLB game is set for 8 p.m. ET.

The durable broadcaster plans to acheive the impressive broadcasting feat by gettting crosstown from Candlestick to AT&T Park by — how else— cable car.

Buck-haters — who won't find a double dose of the announcer to be a San Francisco treat — will just have to endure seven or eight hours of avoiding kicking in their TV screens.

Who knows?  Maybe Artie Lange will show up and liven things up.
