Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera... two Yankees who carried themselves with such class that even Red Sox fans had to admire them in the end. Rivera's smiling, hilarious tip of the cap to the mock cheers is still one of the coolest displays of good humor and class that I've ever seen.

Rivera was all class and a very good sport. Boston fans LOVED Rivera, he was all business and the most feared closer of all time but also, a real guy who could take a little ribbing and be confident enough to laugh and smile. Respect to Jeter and Rivera, thank you NYY for honoring Ortiz at Yankee Stadium we appreciate that and always will

I'm a die hard Blue Jay fan, but will never get tired of seeing Derek Jeter tributes. That man is an incredibly wonderful human being.

One thing I will truly say, I've been a Yankee fan for over 40 years, seen alot of greats, Goose, Guidry, Mattingly, Winfield, Nettles,, Niekro, Henderson, the list goes on!! But the greatest thing about sports, you need a rival, or villain, to make it worth watching. Magic had Larry, Wilt had Russell, Borg had McEnroe, etc. &, the Yankees have the Red Sox, as much as I love the Yanks, & will to my dying day, I tip my cap & give respect to the RedSox, & the beautiful Fenway Park, for this. Thank you Boston, beautiful city with amazing fans

As a die hard Yankee Fan, Boston you are all a class ACT for honor our beloved Captain!! Thank you Boston!! 🥂

I'm a Red Sox fan, and I married a Yankees fan. We both seem to agree that despite (or because of) the rivalry, the two teams greatly respect each other, because they kind of need each other.

I am a Yankees Fan. The Boston Red Sox and their fans showed great class and respect for Derek Jeter. This was a great tribute to Derek Jeter and the Red Sox did it best. Thank you Red Sox Nation. We have eternal respect for each other. God Bless and Be Boston Strong.

As a diehard Red Sox fan, I haaaaaaaate the Yankees with every fiber of my being. That said, there are 2 Yankee players who I could never hate (and both of whom I GREATLY respect): Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. When Jeter and Rivera began their careers, I automatically wanted to have disdain towards both, but while I cursed them for their great play, that disdain slowly transformed into begrudging respect, not only for how they played, but even more how they handled themselves off the field. Remember, I haaaaaaate the Yankees as a team, so if either Jeter or Rivera were jerks off the field, it would be VERY easy for me to hate either of them lol. But, Mariano was/is a devoted family man and devout Christian, while Jeter always seemed to just handle himself with class off the field. Never any reports of drugs, hanging around with shady figures, etc., so that combination of excellent ballplayers and being good dudes off the field warranted my utmost respect for both. Hell, I even LIKE both guys (has to be sacrilege for a Sox fan to say that about ANY Yankee player, I'm sure).

Thank you to the Sox organization and Sox fans for putting the rivalry aside and truly showing RE2PECT.

Awesome ceremony and beautiful, classy sendoff to Derek Jeter in his last game. Very poignant seeing Tim Wakefield joining in, as Tim passed on recently. Much respect to Tim as well as he always demonstrated great sportsmanship regardless of if the Sox won or lost. May God Bless Tim and his family.

Not sure how I've never seen this, but as a Yankee fan I must acknowledge and give credit where credit is due. Nice job Boston, this was done with tremendous class. Much respect to you Beantown.

Lifelong Sox fan here...like since the 70's when they almost but never won. I hated the Yankees. All of them. Had a tiny bit of okayness for Thurman Munson but until Jeter, that's it. Never hated him, he was as good and classy as you'd ever want anyone to be. Class act.

As I die hard Sox fan with generations behind it, I can say he deserved this just for how he played the game

Never thought I'd hear this much love to a Yankee at Fenway! Gotta love it!

I am just happy that I have lived to witness Jeter win all those championships(5). There will never be another sportsman like Derek Jeter#2for life.

Respect to the Boston Redsox and the Boston fans . You guys are Class Act 🙏

Im a die hard red sox fan it was a sad day to see derek jeter retire but he was a great player hands down

I always loved rooting against him growing up as a kid, but when he finally retired and I matured, I couldnt help but smile at all the kids he influenced, all the fans he inspired, and the fact he had done so much more for the game of baseball than any other player in YEARS. Derek is the epitome of a legend.

Lifelong Sox fan- never thought I would miss this man so much.

This was, without question, an absolute class act on the part of the Sox. Good for them. I'm a die hard Yankees fan but when they did this, I remember how much respect I had for them. Beautiful moment in sports

I bled Yankee blue that night in the grandstands behind home plate but the Sox fans couldn't have been more gracious. They gave us a hard time but it was all in good fun. Can't wait to visit Boston again.

As a Detroit fan, I always had deep admiration for Derek Jeter along with Mariano Rivera, Don MattinglyBernie Williams etc. I always knew that Bosox fans are knowledgeable and passionate. Jealous of both teams’ fans. This was sooo uplifting a sports moment. A teachable moment for young people. Do it the right way and be based on respect. That Jeter did. The one thing I am proud of the history of the Tigers through their history is that they always played tough against NY and BOS

The thing about baseball is that its always on. Long games. All summer. From Colorado, I used to go to Long Island to see my relatives in the summers for a month to a month and a half and got to see the 90s dynasty form. A million cousins my age. Grannie had a a pool so wed play whiffle ball and swim, and go to the movies, and on a special occasion...hit a yankee game...when the grainy 90s tv and the sounds of John sterling and Michael kay on the radio became reality. Jeter was a rookie my last year of elementary school. During his career, I would go through middle school, high school, screw up in college, become an apprentice, and later a journeyman electrician and go onto do pretty well for myself. And like the frog in boiling water, you dont realize the clock is ticking. Through every up and down in my life...there was Jeter playing shortstop. A dependable solid who was always there....until he wasn't.

As a Yankees fan I could never look at the Red Sox again like I used to! My respect Boston my respect 1

I am a Yankee fan, and a HUGE Jeter fan, but watching the 'rivalry' against these two awesome teams was always my favorite games !!

I was lucky enough growing up in Northern, NJ to see some of the best and kindest athletes make a difference. People like Tom Seaver, Adam Graves, Gary Carter, John Starks, Clark Gillies, Joe Klecko etc....Derek Jeter is right up there with all of those heroes.
