Thank you Derek Jeter

As spring training begins and this becomes Derek Jeter's final season; I wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" to #2.

Thank you Derek...

- For playing every game with the enthusiasm as if it were your first and the determination as though it were your last.

- For 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2009

- For flip throws to home, dives into the stands and for making plays that made us go "Wow!"

- For always treating the game of baseball with respect.

- For loving the city of New York as much as the fans do

- And most of all, Derek Jeter, thank you for being a Yankee. 

We all knew this time would come eventually and as much as I will miss seeing you in pinstripes, I am celebrating the chance I had to see you play over all these years. I know this season will be like all those you played previously..with heart and for the love of the game. 

As usual, Go Yankees!!
