The Captains Legacy

Derek Jeter, a 12-time All-Star with five Gold Glove and four Silver Sluggers and is the all-time postseason leader in hits, games played, extra-base hits and runs, is set to retire at the end of the 2014 season. To make it worse, his season is cut short with the Yankees elimination of playoff contention. Jeter will retire as one of the greatest to ever play the game, and his numbers show it. 

During an interview of Jeter ' ex team ate, Tina Martinez, Martinez says, "He led by example,"His whole career has been that way. Plays hard, plays to win. Expects the most from his teammates. When you're in battle with a guy like that, it's important not to let him down. From superstars to the 25th man on the roster, we all felt a responsibility to play hard and play to win because of Jeter. That's rare." Jeter will finish his career with 5 World Series victories. The Red So, Yankees long time rivals, even plan to celery Jeter last game at few a park. Not all agree that Jeter is the best of all time, but almost everyone shares an immense respect for what he has done for this game. The Number 2 will be reitred at the end of the season, finishing off the Yankees retired mumbers 1-10. RE2PECT: http://youtu.be/X03_bNuihLU
