John Spero I dont really remember it bug my dad told me a bunch of times that when I was like 4 my parents where taking me and my brother to Yankee game and there was this coffee shop all the Yankees went too before BP and Jeter was just walking by and he saw me in his jersey and just was like “hey kid” and I was like “holy shit”

[@chrismckeon]

Truth be told, no one could hate on Jeter. Every fan base respected him because he played the game the right way and carried himself with humility while being one of the best to play the game. He’s honestly the reason why I grew to love playing baseball and why I loved watching it and the Yankees so much

[@bradlewis6514]

That's totally awesome John and from keeping up with him his entire career I'm not surprised! He was class personified, which so many in all professional sports have lacked over the generations! He was a rare breed

Every clutch moment, every great play and all of his amazing playoff success is just a part of his legacy, the other part is how great of a leader he was and how he led by example, carrying himself like a true gentleman throughout his entire career. There's no one in the game of baseball who could ever say a negative thing about Derek Jeter! Now officially where he belongs, among the all time greats in the Hall of Fame.

Derek Jeter is THE ballplayer of my generation. What is it about El Capitan that makes me feel so much pride in being a Yankee fan and an overall lover of baseball? The last time I got this emotional over something sports related was his final home game. As a little kid I watched Derek win Rookie of the Year and a World Series ring and now I'm a grown man watching him get elected almost unanimously into the Hall of Fame. Congrats, #2! Well Deserved!

[@happyblobfish6077]

Congrats Derek you should be proud🙂. Long live the Captain

[@JustinBartz]

I'm not only happy for Derek Jeter and Larry Walker being inducted, but to all of their fans that got to follow them their entire careers. I think everybody knows how it feels to look back and remember how old you were when Jeter's career started, and here we are today -- much older, some of us with children of our own that will hopefully get to follow current stars in the same way. There's just that momentary sadness for nostalgic purposes where you miss those childhood memories like they were yesterday. I swear, there are certain memories that seem like yesterday and they're so long ago. Time feels like it goes by way too fast sometimes, so I guess we just appreciate being witness to great moments along the way, and Derek Jeter provided many of those. What a game.

The best game I ever seen at the Stadium in person was the Mr November game. I can still hear the crowd roar when Jeter hit that homerun and still feel that old Stadium shake. Jeter will always be a Yankee forever. The guy looks like he can still put a uniform on and start spring training tomorrow. Simply the best. Thank You Captain Clutch.
