Incredible game. Would have still been a good way to go, driving in the go ahead run. But that error would have left a bad taste in my mouth.

Glad to see things play out the way they did. I even made my girlfriend get off her computer to watch his last at bat because I told her it was important. She wasn't disappointed either.

Amazing ending.

I was at the game but I agree with bill omg :)

I only arrived in the United States in January of 2000, aged 32.
Had never before watched baseball, never collected US sportscards.

In the 4 months I travelled around the USA I watched endless sports, and in April of that year bought my first baseball card.

It was a 93 Pinnacle Jeter.
He just stood out, as champions do.
I have purchased thousands of cards since, and a foil version of Derek has replaced the Pinnacle in my collection, but 13 years later I still remember that card arriving and my falling in love with sportscards.

Thanks Derek Jeter. :)

I have never been so happy that a Yankee reliever blew a save in my life. Talk about fate setting it up for Jeter!!!!

The Onion has a nice retrospective look at Jeter's last couple of seasons.:D

Waiting for the pitcher to say he laid one in for him on purpose.
