2000's Yankees Stories - Derek Jeter Reveals Alex Rodriguez + Fenway Park memories in Sit Down

[@Tank4Life]

Boston cheering Jeter on his last game was classy!

[@Grimmes12]

That's how you know Jeets is a class act

[@NoName-ge6wc]

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.

[@The-CoffeeMan]

He is. Among the, not only Yankee greats, but all time greats. 6th most in all time hits is ridiculous. I don’t think Judge should’ve been given the captain title. He isn’t an all time Yankee great to me. He never shows up when it matters. 62 regular season home runs mean nothing when you’re batting .211 in the post season.

[@JackieDaytona1776]

​@The-CoffeeMan lol you must be young, I wouldn't call Willie Randolph or Graig Nettles all time legends. A captain doesn't need to have 3,000 hits they just need to exemplify the right leadership. Judge is a good captain. But yeah hasn't been clutch in October yet.

[@markdavies9117]

I'm a dozen years older than Derek and I rooted for him his entire career and even now.

[@frankcastle3971]

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.

[@Biff855]

As a Yankees fan who went to many Sox / Yanks there was also a great deal of profanity as well. Yes, once he was cheered. Every other time it was a game I couldn't take my small children to.

[@Platerpus7]

@@Biff855oh please. Yes you could have.

[@tcollier5460]

Ask Adam Jones about Red Sox fans!

[@tchallabp446]

@@Platerpus7ummm respectfully I have to disagree. One time my older brother took my nephew how was 5 years old to a sox/Yankees game a Red Sox fan dumped beer on my nephew cause he had a Yankees jersey on a cursed at him. So no don’t bring your small children to that ballpark

[@TheMbeagan]

He was not great

[@IKnokBeats]

He is a class act.

[@coreytoomey7579]

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.

[@BusyChild]

Was it?! What a non story.

[@Surfer041]

Hurts to see him so old. I know the feeling.

[@DMDvideo10]

40-plus year Red Sox fan here. Jeter was a pleasure to watch... Especially after 2004!

[@haroldbrown6630]

Agreed, from Amherst, MA.

[@frederickrapp5396]

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.

[@The-CoffeeMan]

Yeah. Especially considering Pettitte and Posada both had wives and children. After work, like most men, they went home to their families.

[@frederickrapp5396]

@@The-CoffeeManYou are 100% correct.

[@eagl3ye]

Why does a Yankee have to be such a likable dude.

[@GavinOCo]

It goes both ways! Always hated how likable some Sox players have been through the years. Especially remember thinking that towards the beginning of Mookie's career

[@johnpestano22]

I love DJ2 always class one of the greatest players to play and a great human being

[@paulcrepeau7488]

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. ⚾️

[@elihinson2657]

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!

[@fishinghuntingfool]

Volpe! Could be the next Derek Jeter?

[@RonG-rx2lj]

😐 There’s only one Jeter!

[@michaelcrockette8694]

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.

[@gusm2752]

WTF ! Buck mentions a big Jeter hit and it’s edited out of the video ? Such B S !

[@johnford5846]

I know right 🤬

[@Mncrr]

We know cops that worked the stadium who said he was not friendly and unapproachable unlike some of the other Yankees.

[@mikeshoe74]

I've heard that too....I do like this clip though....he does sign a ball for the kid. It's easy to judge these guys on interactions wit the public...however, we also don't know what that life is like. We don't know what it's like to have everyone around you feel entitled to your attention. At the ball park, in uniform, ok....those are paying fans....but then to never be giving personal space out of uniform....it has to get annoying. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ6ydpuoeK-mfbs

[@Mncrr]

@@mikeshoe74 yes I agree with you on that. We always thought A rod was the dick but my cop friends said by the timehe got to the Yankees he was much matured and great with everyone especially the kids. Go figure.

[@christopherbasile1205]

I met Jeter the day after the Yanks won the 99 series at Poor Billy’s on the upper East side of Manhattan. He was fantastic! One of the great meetings of my life.

[@ysamohammad8089]

Totally agree I’ve heard some stories also about this guy……being so arrogant no personality nor carisma at all, so please! stop faking

[@NoName-ge6wc]

Lol. He is friendly enough, I'm sure.

[@stevenkunzer9027]

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.

[@Rounder2205]

Hey Joe, why don’t you get Artie Lange on the show?

[@eze2190]

Classy

[@Anormus1]

RE2PECT

[@joseyeastwood]

Jeter looks like he stares at himself in the mirror all day.

[@themilkmansfuckinyawaaaf]

Funny enough, arod actually used to do that. At least according the selena roberts book

[@libs-Suk-Balz]

I respect Jeter as a ball player. He sucks as a person.

[@NatTurnergrandsonChrisdorner]

How?

[@He-Rex]

A little too calculated for my taste....But a great player.

[@Grimmes12]

And because he is so calculated he was never caught up like other dopey dumb athletes

[@He-Rex]

@@Grimmes12 It's possible to be a real person without being a dope. That being said, he didn't owe anybody genuineness, so it is what it is.

[@Anita_Hanjaab]

Calculated as in how he plays? Or how he answers questions?

[@awatkins8429]

@@Anita_Hanjaab he just has a very manicured way about him. Like everything is done and said with his image in mind. I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing, but I know with the poster meant.

[@frederickrapp5396]

This video could just as well be called “We didn’t want to be friends.”

[@trentbateman]

I hated the yanks for bringing in Alex as he didn’t represent who the Yankees were.

[@masonloh1411]

Jeter might have that charisma / Charm but in real life, like a Hollywood star can be anti-social + snobbish. he looks tight / no sense of humor + uncomfortable on camera w/ A Rod & Papa when he wouldn't wear that cowboy hat on T.V.

[@someoneyoudontknow7705]

He seems like a covert narcissist
