Boston cheering Jeter on his last game was classy!
-
Jeter is an iconic baseball player and beloved yankee. What he meant to a generation of yankee fans is impossible to put into words. He is in the same stratosphere as Ruth, Gehrig, Dimaggio, Mantle and Berra.
-
He is a class act.
-
We cheered Jeter at Fenway Park because he's one of the greatest of all time, and we respect someone who played the game the right way like he did.
-
Hurts to see him so old. I know the feeling.

My first ever game was at the old Yankee Stadium in either 1998 or 99. It was the height of the dynasty and the Yanks were facing Atlanta in the summer. I was several rows behind home plate. Jeter was in the batting circle, warming up. The batter fouled and the ball rolled toward Jeter who picked it up and handed it to a boy in the front row. Seeing him do that in person, instead of on TV, picking up that ball with his white-gloved hand and giving it to a kid...there was something magical about it.

40-plus year Red Sox fan here. Jeter was a pleasure to watch... Especially after 2004!
-
I love DJ2 always class one of the greatest players to play and a great human being

Co-workers are very seldom close personal friends away from work. I’m not at all surprised that Jeter, Posada, Pettitte, and Rivera didn’t go out to lunch with each other when they were away from the diamond.
-
Why does a Yankee have to be such a likable dude.
-
Many, many great moments… and from an era where every fart and every sneeze was front page news. He was Sooo good and sooo below the radar of front page drama. One of the all time greats. All you haters are just that, hayers wishing you had “27”, and a guy who finished in the top 5 all time hitters - in your lifetime. NYY!

Derek Jeter seemed to me to have a similar work ethic to that of Cal Ripken, Jr. Neither of them were flashy attention-seekers, and were even considered by some to be overachievers. But their consistent productivity was due to the fact that they didn’t allow anything to distract them from trying to be the best at what they were getting paid to do. ⚾️

WTF ! Buck mentions a big Jeter hit and it’s edited out of the video ? Such B S !
-
fans like to believe that players are best friends but it doesn’t necessarily happen that way. the ‘72-‘74 World Champion Oakland A’s were not a close knit team, in fact many couldn’t stand each other but they knew how to win and were professionals on the field.
-
Volpe! Could be the next Derek Jeter?
-
AROD was obsessed with Baseball on a fan side at a level Jeter wasn’t, they just had different interests as people and having media constantly ask about players relationships all the time cannot be good for that type of a relationship. Also the PED suspicion that was surrounding AROD put Jeter in a bad place as well.

Classy
-
We know cops that worked the stadium who said he was not friendly and unapproachable unlike some of the other Yankees.
-
Hey Joe, why don’t you get Artie Lange on the show?

RE2PECT
