“Well the script is there, the last page is in Derek’s hands” CHILLS

[ggjbreezy]

“Where fantasy becomes reality, did you have any doubt” this sends chills through not just baseball fans but sports fans in general

[CoasterMan]

Cried my eyes out after seeing that live, a fitting ending to a fabulous career. You will be missed Derek Jeter

[billgatesleavingyamomshous]

This is like Kobe’s last game where he just completely blew everyone away and showed people again how great they were

Watched this with my Pop, aged 97, a city boy from Harlem who got to throw a ball from 3rd to 1st at Yankee Stadium when he was a kid; said it took a few bounces to get there; he was with his mom at the game that Gehrig said good-bye. Dad passed less than a month later. Baseball gives us shared memories that become hard-wired in our psyches and part of our family history. Thanks, Derek, for one of the last happy ones I had with my dad.

In the top of the ninth, David Robertson had the greatest blown save in New York Yankees history.

I'm not even a Yankees fan but this made me tear up. I grew up with this guy playing baseball.

[EricLimasTPLEra]

As a Red Sox fan, I was taught that the Yankees are evil, LOL. But Derek Jeter is the classiest guy who ever played the game of baseball during the "Steroid Era". He is the epitomy of what every major leaguer should be like: Respectful, humble & classy. I respect Mr. Jeter and I like the way he played the game. He was an integral part of this great rivalry. So, to this I say: Thank you, Derek Jeter, for adding another dynamic to this great rivalry! Respect to you, Mr. Jeter. I got words for you, though: GET MARRIED! LOL! 

[PadChennington]

My favorite player of all time ... and I’m a Mets fan lol

[cpa]

No matter how many times I watch this, I will always cry. My favorite athlete of all time and the reason I love and wanted to play baseball. There will never be a ballplayer like Jeter in my lifetime.

[KenOnStrength]

Fitting ending, for a champion and a true winner, who played the game the right way as hard as he could with heart and desire.
He was, for the better part of 20 years, THE ONE GUY Yankee fans wanted at the plate in the late innings of a tight game. He played hurt, he played hard, he never embarrassed himself, or his uniform, or the game itself. It was a privilege to watch him play the game.

In 2007, I had the amazing opportunity to sit on the Green Monster at Fenway Park and watch my Red Sox play the Yankees. Jeter beat us on a three-run homer off Schilling in the eighth. After the game, Roger Clemens, who had a no-decision, said of Jeter, "It's an honor to watch the best clutch hitter in history do his thing." I was disappointed by the outcome of the game at the time, but now I'm far more thankful that I had the chance to watch him play and succeed. Hell of a player.

[Bryan_S]

Watched his first career Home walk off and watched his last career home walk off both live. Simply amazing and childhood memories.

[QS-sicq]

I was there. That moment was unlike anything else I had ever experienced, and still haven't since. The stadium ERUPTED. That roar that came with that hit, the plapable tension of the moment and how he could end his career in that moment in that at-bat with a tied game in the 9th, at home, with thousands chating DE-REK JE-TER! over and over. It still chokes me up just telling my experience.

[Kinsella_Finn]

They don't make stadium announcers like that anymore. Batters just have crap walk up music.

[jameslisle]

This is the most epic ending to a regular season game in Yankees history! Nobody deserves it more than the Captain!

[Germancito]

This was the last Yankee game i attended with my dad....i miss you everyday daddy boogie...i am thankful to God for our time together.

[fishingwithnobrim]

The fact that it’s 6 years later and I’m still genuinely upset we will never see him play again

[tknick]

I’m a Boston Red Sox fan and this gave me chills back then, and still does today. Jeter was a class act and absolutely earned and deserved this moment.

[DPRyan-vdpp]

We did fleet week in New York in 1998 when I was in the Navy… we got free tickets to go to a Yankees game, it was pretty cool to see Jeter in person even though I’m a Red Sox fan, it was awesome, Yankees 6 white sox 3; Jeter had 3 RBI’s that day
