The 1st guy wouldn't give up his spot and forced the best talent of his generation into a position he'd never played. There's probably a few things Jeter could learn from Thome.

Father Leo I was thinking this earlier today. Kobe dreamt as a kid of playing for the Lakers and did so for 20 years - a mirror image of Jeter’s childhood dreams of the Yankees and his 20 year career. And both embarked on new careers after retirement, opening new chapters in their lives. Remarkable men.

Lemahieu is also smart enough to know he can use the Stadium to his advantage. Seems like he was made for the Pinstripes and hopefully he sticks around for the rest of his career because he definitely does have the same approach as Jeter and is a hitting machine like Jeter was.

What he meant by that was that he's resigned to the fact that playing the game was his past and he's now writing his new chapter. It's a mindset one must adopt to actually be present.

I respected this guy a lot. Not a yankee fan, but obviously if you love the game you love the way this man handled himself on and off the field. But to hear him say that he was a guy to not guess at a pitch is remarkable, he took his time to pin point where the ball was coming and shot it to the opposite field. One of the hardest things to do in baseball and that was his approach every time. Well played Derek your a true GOAT, somehow my respect grew

I hope young kids watch this video and take something very important away from it. Don’t over complicate hitting. All Jeets did was sit fastball and try to stay inside it! Too many kids think “launch angle”, sit off-speed when behind in the count, etc. if you sit fastball and stay inside the ball, you’ll be in good shape. React to off speed, but still think fastball. This guy is number 6 all time in hits and his approach to hitting was as simple as it gets. I wish I had taken this approach when I was young. Jeter is the man.

The one at yankee stadium and his final infield base hit at Fenway when he was pulled from the game. I never thought I’d care much for a player like I did for Jeter. But honestly watching Tatis jr play has revived my excitement for baseball again. It’s a different excitement opposed to watching a player you look up to growing up like Jeter, but more like a proud excitement when I watch Tatis play. I just hope Tatis can have close to the career Jeter did.

Crazy how he's doing the opposite of what players usually do. He's hitting the fastball backside and pulling the off-speed. Crazy when you think about it how you can sit fastball and try to hit it the other way, but it's okay if its an offspeed pitch because you were going away and the wasted time in the swing turns it into a pull hit, rather than being way too far out in front. Look backside and adjust to pull on the offspeed because of how long the bat is in the zone.
