Honestly Jeter wasn't very fan friendly at all. Been to more games he's played in than i can count and he loved the ladies way more than the kids. Still he was the heart of the team and a consumate professional. Don Mattingly will always be my favorite Yankee. (And belongs in the Hall if Puckett is in with lesser stats)

I was lucky to be able to watch his whole career and even though I hate the Yankees I couldn't help but root for individuals. And he was one of them. Him and Mariano were some of the classiest players I've ever watched and I'm happy to see them become Hall of Famers. From a Sox fan, congratulations.

congratulations, Derek. thank you for all the great memories. it was so much fun watching you play. when I first started watching baseball as a 5 year old in 1977 I idolized Reggie Jackson and I never thought that anyone else would ever surpass him as my favorite player. but you have. you did things on the field no one thought were possible. you never gave up. you never quit. you were never satisfied with finishing second and you never disappointed the fans. you always handled yourself with class on and off the field and have inspired millions of kids around the world. I look around the major leagues and see so many players wearing #2 for other teams and am so glad that no one else will ever wear #2 on the Yankees. the 5 rings you earned in the wild card era when you have so many rounds of playoffs to go through are amazing and just as impressive as the 10 rings that Yogi got when there were no playoffs. thank you for the Yankees 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th & 27th championship flags - none of them would have happened without you.
