One of the greatest to ever play the game, New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is finally retiring after nearly 20 years in the major leagues.  As a big fan of the Yankees, Jersey Joe has some questions for him…

 

THE 411

Name: Derek Jeter

Occupation: shortstop, New York Yankees

Years Active: 1995-2014

Jersey Number: 2

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS

It will be a long, long time until there’s another player like Derek Jeter.  Some say his season long swan song was too much, while other fans think it was quite appropriate.

The days of baseball players staying loyal to just one team are done.  With big contracts, free agency, and back room trade deals – loyalty of a player to a team is rare to exist.  Even several members of the arch-rival Boston Red Sox have recently crossed the line and now put on Yankee pinstripes.  When that happened in the past, it would cause quite an uproar with fans.  Now, nobody really blinks an eye.

But as for Jeter, for playing in the most high profile city in the United States, he’s handled the pressure well.  He’s constantly in the public eye, but yet has a mostly upstanding personal demeanor and record.  It’s the way he’s carried himself that has made him not only a legend to the game, to the fans, and also to his fellow players.
