For almost two decades, Derek Jeter has been a fixture in the Bronx. He’s the face of the most well-known sports franchise in the world; the face of baseball.
It seems like it was only a few weeks ago that Jeter took to Facebook to announce that the 2014 season would be his last. Now, there’s only a few weeks left in his iconic career. Time flies when you’re having fun, and Jeter has provided more joy for more people than he, or any of us, can ever possibly comprehend.
He’s done it his way—with class, dignity and respect. Respect for the game, for those who came before him, for his opponents and for the fans.
From “Captain Clutch” to “Mr. November,” Jeter’s career is filled with memorable moments, many of them taking place in front of his hometown fans in the Bronx.
With the Yankees set to honor Jeter on Sunday, Sept. 7, now is as good a time as any to tackle the daunting task of narrowing those moments down into a Top 10 list.
Years from now, when a new generation of Yankee fans are introduced to No. 2, these are the moments (listed chronologically) that will be placed in front of them; the moments that help to tell the story of a baseball legend.
Make no mistake about it, a legend is exactly what Jeter is—a point that wasn’t lost on the late, great Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner: “For those who say today’s game can’t produce legendary players, I have two words: Derek Jeter.”
