+Jesus Draven >> Still, the Sox looked really good on paper last season but underachieved big time... and yes, it's only natural to pull for one's favorite team, and you do well to pull for the Bronx Bombers. I find it great to be able to appreciate the sport and great achievements on the field of play, regardless of fans' allegiances. Sure, we love it when our teams win, but it doesn't take away from enjoying the game and seeing mutual respect, as epitomized by Jeter, whose shoes at shortstop I don't think anyone can adequately fill at this time. He was a fixture at the position, and I dare say the league misses seeing him ply his trade... [Actually, my first love, in baseball terms, was the Montreal Expos (I lived a 4-minute drive from Olympic Stadium), but I kind of gravitated toward the BoSox around 1980, in the days of Rice and Lynn and Yaz]

+Victor M. Ferreira Your completely right, the Red Sox did underachieved last year. They put a lot money into Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval which didn't turn out to be great signings. But you do got some young stars like Mookie Betts and Bogarts that were great to watch play. It's going to be a crazy year in the AL east. And expos man back in the early 90's they had some amazing stars on there ball club. Everyone remembers the 1994 season when the strike ruined the season. The Expos had an amazing start to that season who knows they could've won the World Series.

Yup. I cry every time I watch this.

[@gemini92406]

Born and raised in South Philly but no matter what you always have to give respect where it's due. If I were there you know I'd be cheering for sure.

[@Brooklyndog4706]

Much respect to Boston

[@shanepanuska9650]

From a Yankee fan, thank you Boston fans for this moment.

[@matthewdowling6549]

I'm a life-long Red Sox fan, I hate the Yankees, but Jeter and Rivera are class acts. Love those two.

[@BigMoEnrgy]

I’ve been in Boston and been to Pats games . And I can honestly say with how ruthless Boston fans can be this was definitely class act!!

[@upacloud516]

When Derek Jeter and Ichiro hugged we watched to legends share a special moment

[@TheDeMIlz]

one of the best to ever do it. Thanks for giving me an amazing rivalry to watch growing up. Thank you derek jeter. sincerely, a red sox fan

[@herbwhite7384]

In the end, Boston fans showed their true colors and that is pure class. Kudos to you.

[@squeedum4893]

Not a big baseball fan, but I know about the rivalry here. This stuff gives me legit chills.

[@9caplad]

So much respect . Thank you Boston fans . I was able to get a t-shirt that said it was his final series at Fenway .

[@atticusmcfly]

Thank you Boston and Fenway for giving our Captain a respectable and gracious standing ovation as a legend concludes his career on your turf. This truly shows how greatness and sportsmanship transcends a long and bitter rivalry. I hope us Yankee fans can repay you someday once you manage to produce a homegrown talent worthy of our admiration. 🤣 I had to. 💗

You did with #bostonstrong

The beauty of baseball. It finds a way to bring people together. I've loved the game all my life and I always will.

[@nathanaelstasinski9855]

Baseball will miss this guy!

[@reneep9972]

Whatever. As a lifelong Yanks fan, I prefer Gleyber Torres over Jeter every day of the week. At least when Torres strikes out the announcers don't praise him like he was Jesus Christ himself.

[@sadmetsfan7660]

@@reneep9972 “lifelong yankees fan” yeah sure

[@tommacari4103]

Talk about good sportsmanship... well done Boston

[@MFRP87024]

Boston is the worst and their fans are w em

Respect #2 Derek Jeter. Farewell Old Yankee Shortstop.

[@raymondbarbosa5515]

This gives me chills as a Dodgers fan. Jeter was so great that even Red Sox fans had to give it up for him. I don't think we'll ever see another Jeter. Yankees were blessed to have him for so many years

[@BigCheech-wy9os]

The only thing Better than the Yankee/Red Sox Rivalry.... Is The Yankee/Red Sox Respect!!! I am a Yankee Fan... Thank You Boston For The Class You Showed This Day!! and I Was Very Happy The Bronx Got to Show the same Respect for Big Papi Ortiz. Both Great Player Will Be Missed.

[@BigUnii]

As a Boston Faithful, I can remember this day like yesterday. He was one who gave us a run for our money. Respect is always earned and given.

[@FoF1212]

I caught that foul ball at 1:32. Not really.... but if I was confident about it you would totally have believed me. God I wish I had friends.

[@KVQ0]

congrats on your new 2 year contract mike

I was at his last game in Yankees stadium. 100% serious, no sarcasm.

[@sportswweyankeegamerawesom6661]

The Boy same

[@DaneBryantFrazier]

I was the bat boy that day for the Yanks. Very emotional when Derek was taken off of the field. Now, if I was confident as well, you would have believed me. I actually wasn't the bat boy :-/ man, I wish I had friends too...
