Derek Jeter's Last Game as a Yankee

[Dixarect]

Absolutely crazy, watched the game from the 8th inning on.


Recap of what happened.


Top 9, Yankees are up 3 runs. The closer for the Yankees gives up a 2 run homerun and Solo homerun, which ties the game. Gets a flyball to end the inning.


Now the Yankees have to play bottom 9. Jeter happens to be the third guy up.


First batter hits a single. Second hitter bunts him over to second. Jeter is up. 1 out, guy on second. The man himself hits a walk off single to end the game and his last game wearing Pinstripes at Yankee Stadium. Absolutely crazy.


Farewell Captain.

FIX, GAME WAS FIXED!!!! J/P
TBH I'm not a Yankee fan even though I'm a New Yorker but this man deserved a proper send off like this, one of the best sportsmen of my generation. Won't be the same.

You could not have written it better in a script. I have watched Derek Jeter's career from his rookie season until tonight
and he is the most classy player I have ever seen play this game. What a great ending.

I'm am and always will be a Redsox fan and hate the Yankmees. BUT that last home at bat and send off gave me the chills. His public persona is unmatched....with his level of exposure that's astonishing.

And his house in Tampa is ENORMOUS! Haha! But seriously, nice to see him go out like that.

I'm an O's fan and not happy about the outcome. We are in a race with the Angels to claim home field throughout the playoffs and we've probably blown it. At least NY will be sitting home again this year. Props to Jeter for a great career.

Jeter's not playing the next 3 games? Or did you mean his last game at Yankee Stadium?

 

[Dixarect]

Ah. I did mean at Yankee stadium. You are correct. He is playing in Boston as a Dh. Totally my bad

Card's fan here till I die, but growing up watching Jeter was amazing. Jeter is as classy as they come. Perfect way to end the story. #FarewellCaptain
