Derek Jeter - 3000th Hit - "The Baseball Kid" - DJ3K

[@WreckingCrewResurgen]

If you think about it, he pretty much lived and played EVERY baseball players fantasy as child. Every kid that has played baseball use to fantasize or dream about hitting a walk off HR in a World Series, hitting a lead-off HR in a WS, making those insane catches or throws in big games, being a reliable hitter, playing in the bigs for almost 20 years, being the captain and leader of your team for most of those years,not just reaching milestones, but reaching them in dramatic fashion (HR on 3,000th, 1st to HR in Nov, ect), jumping into the dogpile after winning a WS. Any boy who has ever dreamed of becoming a big leaguer has dreamed or fantasized about all of these things, but he actually lived them. ......he also did it all on the biggest stage in baseball, one of the largest, toughest, most scrutinizing media markets in the world for his entire career. Most players of significance can't last more than a few years before the media exposes something or launch a negative campaign against them. The fact he was able to stay on top with the NY media throughout his career and absolutely no links or involvement in the steriod era, is in itself ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY.

Derek Jeter is and always will be my favorite Yankee of all time. One of the many things I loved about him during his Hall of Fame career was that his goals were the same as the team goals and that was winning. He truly played the game with class as RE2PECT. Thanks for the 20 amazing years Derek and oh yeah thanks for the five World Series Championships too.

[@appleiphonegenius]

Thank You Derek for everything! Have a great retirement next year but lets win one more this year!

[@yoman21a]

I give this video as a presentation a score of 10/10. Whoever put this video together did an amazing job. All those highlights. Being drafted. First hit. First homerun. How they kept track of all those clips. Wow. And on a great milestone. This IS a MUST SEE VIDEO!

[@juanromero4181]

This is the best tribute video anyone has ever made for anything EVER. Good job!

[@mattyboy200]

The song was great and the video was great. Nice tribute to maybe the best ever. He's Definitely the best in my 35 years.

[@KateMcT]

LOVE Derek Jeter! Could watch him play baseball all day! Mad the Yankees made him a DH this year. The moment he hit 3k, I cried. Always a classy guy!

[@byTwisted]

I was watching the game when he hit his 3000th hit, still gives me goosebumps. :)

[@ToffeeAppleTerror]

I live in a seaside town in the UK, a million miles away from anything baseball... I've never even watched a game on TV. But this was bloody brilliant. I gotta start watching baseball!

[@65Rhode]

this is the best Derek Jeter Video that I ever seen. Great Job!! Super

[@kokounlimited]

That is a very strong and humbling statement, thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@Maharg23]

Best tribute video ive ever seen about anyone. Great job.

[@njitgrad]

Awesome video, gives me the goosebumps everytime I watch it. I am so glad that this Yankee played during my lifetime and love the fact that my kids had a chance to see him play and become inspired by his legacy.

[@cornerbackstar09]

I am A baseball player myself.... and I was looking for Dj.s 3000th hit.... but very nice video structure.... best amatuer video iv seen put together for a champ

[@bruinlady23]

I love this tribute!! Jeter may wear #2 but he is #1 in the Yankees fan heart!!

[@Dyeyourhairpink]

THE BEST EVER! The 3000th hit is amazing and it makes me smile every time that i see it because of how happy he is!

[@jafarill]

Congratulations for this video. I cant stop watch it. The best tribute for DJ for real, thank you so much. Im from Mexico City and a huge fan of yankees and i will not miss the continue of this great video. Congratulations, dude!

[@chuzziii]

Best Jeter video I have ever seen. Great job!

[@marialuisacaiozzo6811]

This song is amazing, excellent choice!! I'm so emotional right now.

[@minecraftdude217]

I can never find a player better than Jeter ( who hasn't taken steroids ) In our generation of baseball. Great vid man.

[@71bxboy]

great vid loved it, all true baseball fans respect Jeter no matter what team u root for.

[@2coolnicky1]

This is truly the best very well put together video I ever seen in my life good job Jason Kokotoff your doing as good as Derek is doing

[@elazteca84]

As a born and raised New Yorker, and Bronx native I've had the luck to see Derek Jeter go from a skinny rookie with potential, to the seasoned veteran that is now our captain of the Ny Yankees, but this video gave me CHILLS, amazingly good, plus the 80s karate kid music oh man nostaglia all around.

[@kareenaduffy57]

I really love this video because it shows how much derek has put into this team, how much he's done for the team since he joined the NYY in 1995, how he enjoy's playing with his teamates and being a great sport,and being a role model for all the future stars and most importantly, how amazing he is at baseball:)

[@kevinhood4519]

Wow this is an awesome video! Great music choice, I liked how you turned it down to hear the announcers and the crowd noise...then the build up at the end for the final hit. Even the flashback to when he was in the minors and as a kid was awesome. Got the chills!

[@yankeesfreak]

this has to be the best video ever, gave me the chills, i still cant believe i was at this game, i was also at game 6 of 2009 world series i have to say this game brought the crowd to its feet more and much louder, i am so glad that im alive to see Jeter play, most people dont relize but he is prob the 5th best Yankee to ever live and one day he will have a moument in centerfield(my opinion)

[@MrDrama179]

I think this video should be in his Hall of fame tribute..Great job

[@mariabienko582]

Miss him so much. It's not the same to not see him at shortstop.

[@jeterfan19952]

That was the best video I have ever seen, and for that I thank you.

[@KiddTut125A]

Great job on the video. The music, the editing, even the small story progression..Well done.

[@XxLETHALxX14]

I'm a red sox fan and Derek jeter just about is my favortite player. I love the way he plays baseball.

[@xraygigi]

Great job with this tribute video!!! Got to see him play a few weeks ago!...Lou Gehrig will always be my favourite ballplayer..but Derek Jeter is a close second......

[@kokounlimited]

Plenty of Yanks fans in CA. Thanks so much for sharing it.

[@pclascurain]

Amazing video!!!!! congratulations!!!!!!! In my opinion DJ is the greatest yankee in history.........

[@erinkelly9551]

I literally cry every time i watch this video! Love it so much!

[@lukececcacci1745]

love how you showed johnny damon, just shows you now even though there not team mates anymore their still firends...

[@TheNewbly]

I don't get why people hate the song so much! I mean it's probably the best song for jeter, and the best derek jeter highlights video I've ever seen. Keep up the good work!

[@TheNewbly]

I don't know why, but I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS VIDEO!

[@Rpagsis1]

From hit # 1 through 3000 he has remained humble. Ironic Tino was on first to witness his 1st career hit in the Bigs as an opposing player, then witness and experience many firsts with him as a teammate. Little did they know at that time they would end up playing together for a dynasty. His legendary play in Oakland not only represents his skill and intelligence as a player, but his unselfish attitude as a leader who always played for his teammates first on the field-- a true servant leader.

[@123ninjamonkey]

great video man! derek jeter is by far the best player i have seen so far! coming from a brewers fan

[@MegaEZmac]

Derek Jeter, so happy I was lucky enough to have grown up watching one of the greatest Yankees... no, one of the greatest shortstops... no, one of the greatest ballplayers of all-time.

[@collinwyler8969]

Got chills for sure. My favorite player. Always will be.

[@kokounlimited]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching.

[@kokounlimited]

The song is from the original 1985 "The Karate Kid" it's something very nostalgic for those that grew up with the film and it fits Jeter perfectly.

[@gko1982]

awesome tribute video to our captain, congrats!

[@kokounlimited]

Thanks so much for the comment and for watching. That home run was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of moment.

[@ckmegatron]

This is the best KZbin video I have seen this year. I'm not joking, you should have sent this to the YES Network, they probably would have bought it off you. Great job!

[@kokounlimited]

That's quite a compliment, thanks so much.

[@kevins.3890]

BEST VIDEO EVER......... YOU RULE JETER.... Keep it up

[@kokounlimited]

I don't think I could possibly get a better compliment than that. Thanks so much for watching.

[@johnnysmith8868]

honestly this the the best player that have ever been brought into the league congrats and i hope he never stops best player ever

[@XxLETHALxX14]

I am a red sox fan and jeter still has all my respect. What a player.

[@xPhooDawgx3]

This is actually a beast of a song. This is my walk up song.

[@BrotherCalvin]

nice job making the video, really good idea, and I can see it turned out well for you!

[@rafaelgonzalez7075]

Love the video! Great tunes!

[@kokounlimited]

That's really flattering, thanks so much.

[@PilotRyan1533]

Seeing him next to martinez on that first clip makes this video that much better.

[@yoman21a]

Welcome. I could watch this video so much times.

[@aawiz27]

great video. derek jeter...legend

[@kokounlimited]

Yeah, even with all his fame he's still underrated as a pure ballplayer. He has collected an insane amount of "big-time" moments in his career, the kind that are retold from generation to generation and end up creating a legend.

[@PilotRyan1533]

How perfect to see DJ make his first hit, stop at 1st base with future teammate and future WS winner Tino Martinez.

[@njitgrad]

I never get tired of watching this video. You truly captured his legacy. I hope you have one in the works for Mariano?

[@kokounlimited]

Wow, thank you so much. And thanks for watching.

[@PooleeCardona613]

As a red sox fan. i can honestly say in his prime he was the best short stop in the game . definitely one of the best of all time.

[@attawog]

I can't stop watching this video!

[@Sereniama]

Karate Kid was one of the most badass films ever.

[@kokounlimited]

My dad always told me stories about Mickey Mantle and someday I'll tell my kids about Derek Jeter. He is a once in a lifetime kind of player.

[@JuntexProductions]

wow, im sure that will be the first of a lot of hits for that brilliant YOUNG man. Excellent prediction

[@alexgiambi]

I would just like to say: Awesome Video!

[@kokounlimited]

No rush, 5 years after he retires I'll definitely be there to watch the induction.

[@kokounlimited]

Really appreciate the comment. Thanks so much for watching.

[@colbycaines2720]

I am not a Yankees fan or whatever, but that was a really big milestone for Jeter!!

[@Capitales0]

This video is AWESOME!!

[@mcziel520]

I am a Boston fan but i respect a lot guys like Jeter...

[@kokounlimited]

Yes he did, the fan was escorted to Jeter after the game and he very willingly gave it back to him without asking anything in return. The Yankees gave him season tickets and some other stuff for the following season.

[@WreckingCrewResurgen]

Like how you did the black and white into color on the hit. Nice editing and video.

[@yankeesfans5352]

dude amazing video, nice editing

[@dookie4life04]

Amazing video, great job!

[@kokounlimited]

Agreed, he is easily the most legendary active position player in the game today.

[@SMPetersen14]

What a great video... thank you!

[@briellemallano1504]

This was amazing.

[@bananaplantation12]

That...WAS AWESOME!!!

[@kokounlimited]

That's great, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

[@kokounlimited]

Thanks so much for watching. After he hit that homer for #3000 I was really inspired. Even with all his fame, I still feel he's underrated and will end up being the greatest all-around shortstop the game has ever seen.

[@statsme88]

I don't care what the numbers or what other people say. Derek Jeter = GOAT in my book.

[@debrawilson4615]

Thank you so much for sharing your video. I love it and i watch it often. Can u do one that is more of updated of him

[@71bxboy]

Awesome Job on the vid tribute Jason

[@Danko235]

Great Song! Fits perfect!

[@MrDrama179]

Excellent video 4 da gratest shortstop n da best around..KoBra kAi style.

[@thegame346]

Amazing to see Derek get his first hit and go to first base where Tino Martinez waits who would ultimately join the Yankees, and they'd both win four World Series Championships together

[@2airsoftsnipers]

I thought that the song fit it perfectly, nice vid

[@jeffybear5547]

All of his career highlights and the what's the smartest thing he's ever done? NEVER. GOT. MARRIED.

[@dylanklein8274]

Trust me that aint happening soon

[@ChillDyl]

1 year later and he's married.

[@estebanj.rosado1449]

He always said he won't marry till he retires.

[@kokounlimited]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.

[@SatchmoSings]

Derek Jeter is an inspiration to all; he's a totally class guy and a true sportsman. The other thing I like about this clip is that all the Yankee home games are in the REAL Yankee Stadium.

[@mattzech6610]

As a red sox fan, its hard to say this but hes a class act. Great player

[@kokounlimited]

Nice, you'll never forget that one! Thanks for watching.

[@kokounlimited]

"The Best" signifies him as being the greatest all-around shortstop to ever play the game.

[@Monisrocks1995]

Awesome video!!!!!!!!!

[@raysmeli4693]

derek jeter es el mejor del mundo soy fans numero uno de derek jeter

[@sportsfan1ize]

wow that was a really good video nice!!!!!!
