I think that Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera got this treatment in every stadium in their final series. And both deserved it!
Any Baseball fan, regardless of what team they support, who cannot realize that Derek Jeter is one of the best Baseball players of all time, is not a fan of Baseball.
Derek Jeter is a hero, not just for the way he played the game, but for the way he handled himself both on and off the field. He made a name for himself in the history of professional baseball and will never be forgotten. Goodbye captain. We forever salute you.
As a Phillies fan the 2009 World Series was a disappointment when we loss to the Yankees, however, even thought Phillies loss, I still have great respect for Derek Jeter. He is the true definition of a baseball player and what all athletes should be. He said he didn't do anything criminal because he didn't want to embarrass his family and friends and to say he got to play both his dreams at the position and play for the Yankees is a true inspiration. Much RE2PECT to the Captain. It was an honor and privilege to see you play Mr. Jeter, enjoy your retirement
He is the best of all times! Glad I got to see him in action...
I remember watching this ceremony and being most impressed that after everything was done, and despite having a game to play, he circled back onto the field to thank every single person who came out to honor him during the ceremony including all the former teammates, family, etc. If you remember, his last game was supposed to be rained out. I was living in LA still mourning the death of my father. I had promised my dad we'd go to the game. I flew on the redeye to NY despite MLB's concern about weather predictions which were 100% rain by 9pm. I also didn't have a ticket to the game when I landed in NY. I finally found a pair online and my best friend and I went. When the Orioles tied the score, I realized Jeter would get one last at-bat. Pure magic. O Captain, our captain. Thank you DJ
Incredibly special day. Honored to be on the field pregame with my 3 sons.
What can anyone say about you, that hasn't been said already. You were, you are ,and you always will be ,my favorite Yankee ,may God-bless you always... You brought an awful lot of joy, to an awful lot of people... And you did it all with such class.... Love, And respect always....❤💙💛💚👍👍👍👍
Wow all my favorite Yankees I feel like a kid again I'm 53 now it was a privilege to see all of them play. Pinstripes for ever
Wow it's still not sunk in that this man... this athlete .... Will not don the pinstripes next year. He is in my book The Greatest of All Time and will for ever be my favorite athlete!
Mariano Rivera,Bernie Williams,David Cone and Paul O Neill are fucking legends
I was there! Yankees fan from United Kingdom!
Yankees should let him own the franchise.And give him a statue period.He was the reason,NY Yankees was championship material by him.20 years of greatness
When I came here to post my comment they were at 222. I gotta say this guy I've watched for 20 years is a class act. 100%
Anybody seen how his nephew tip the cap when he came out , So sweet ❤️
I don't think there could've been a more deserving player to have this ceremony in his honor. Derek is a throw back to the old school players of the 40s & 50s, where winning was everything! Watch Jeter throughout his whole career, was like my dad as a kid watching Mickey Mantle & Yogi! Miss the old teams of the 90s & 2000s, all those guys- BTW, class act on Paul Oniells part, the first of the players coming out of the dugout to acknowledge Derek's family, the Warrior, the man!
I am no yankees fan , but jeter is amazing in so many ways and he deserves a 40 minute ceremony
Class act all the way thru his great career, a true professional & living legend, Re2pected the game & the Yankee tradition.
I’m a Cubs fan and not a fan of the Yankees. Anyone who doesn’t recognize Derek Jeter as one of the all time greats is a fool and only kidding themselves. He was a class act on and off the field. He played the game the right way. He did so much for the community. He was the face of baseball, rightfully deserved. He was a pleasure to watch.
Hands down my favorite athlete of all time it was an honor watching his entire career and getting to see him play live in both old and current Yankee Stadium. Definitely deserved to get in the H.O.F on the first ballot.
