Derek Jeter joins MLB Tonight to reflect on being a Hall of Famer, being a New York icon, and his relationships with George Steinbrenner and Don Zimmer
@@frankmanto670 "Bernie was the reason why we got the opportunity to stay together." ...."he had success..." Bernie was awesome. Obviously the Boss had everything to do with trades and the beginning of free agency, but Jeter was at least giving Bernie a shout out. It was lovely.
Jeter has been very vocal about Bernie being just as important the "Core Four" and that they probably wouldn't have 4 of their 5 championships if it wasnt for him. Cool to see him keep giving Bernie shutouts
Class personified. Look at the way he says "Mr. T" and "Mr. Steinbrenner," you can see how respectful he is. That's what you need from your leader, to be respectful and show respect, and it has an effect on the rest of the team. Establishes culture.
No he won't. Jeter is the front man in Miami but the controlling owner is no different from Jeffery Loria. The moves they've made show that they're clearly intend to just milk the revenue sharing and never field a competitive team.
I agree he will make a winner there in due time. He will figure it out. Just show up to the games Miami fans please. lol The Stanton trade alone was genius because you knew he couldnt hit 50 homers 120 rbi every year and at that salary and years that contract was so stupid. This is coming from a yankee fan who didnt like the trade from day one. We didnt need another swing and miss monster in that lineup and DJ Lemahieu proved how important that was to have contact and a singles, doubles threat at any time.
God I love him! Bob Shepherd what a man! His voice like Derek said was very distinct from the rest. I used to love hearing his voice. His voice would go right through me. Miss you Bob! 😭🙏🏻😭❤️❤️❤️
Nice to hear Jeter speak more freely than in his playing days, during which he was understandably more measured and careful about what he said. He knew how things could domino out of control. Smart kid. I think Arron Judge can follow in those footsteps to a degree, but he lets a few things 'slip' now and then. Which to me is fine, because he's only speaking from his heart...it's just frustrating when you know media wants to pick something up and run with it so bad.
Yankee hater here. Much respect to Jeter....+, I never realised how small Harold Reynold's head is before. Not that there's anything wrong with that....
Slightly confused when Al Leiter maybe? mentioned to Derek that he seemed happy to have a teammate with him in this class with Larry Walker. Now Walker was never a Yankee, so is he talking about a teammate in the Hall of Fame class or am I missing something?
Derek Jeter had a great career...did he play with excellent players???? YES!!!!!! He is a hall of famer??? Well deserved......overrated??? Get serious......or should we say we will not take you seriously....Bernie and Paul were outstanding??? Yesssssssss.....long live the legend of number 2 Derek Jeter....everyone enjoy your weekend..peace
it's not that i'm upset Jeter made it in, he derserves it.... i'm just upset that Omar Vizquel didn't make it in first, and may not make it in at all. the dude won 11 Gold Gloves at shortstop. NINE IN A ROW. only Ozzy Smith has more total at shortstop.
Why would you assume Vizquel would never get it? He’s a shoe-in. The only thing now that puts him in jeopardy is his alleged wife beating incident from 2020.
@@Garrett1240 because he only has like one year of eligibility left on the ballot I think. if he doesn't get elected the next time, he can never be on the ballot again
Ohio Against The World Dude, he has like 6 or 7 years of eligibility left. His percentage of votes has been rising steadily to the point where it’s a complete given he’ll get in, at least before he beat some broad.
@@Garrett1240 good, he better. i get Jeter had a big bat, but Vizquel was pretty efficient batting too. add that to Vizquel being a way, way better SS too. i'm still confused why he'd make it before Vizquel heh
@@ohioagainsttheworld676 Because Jeter was the king of NY and one of, if not the most popular player of his era, and yeah, Vizquel was a great contact batter who also stole tons of bases. Had he not played in small markets he would've been much bigger in the eyes of the casual fan.
Has anyone watching this channel seen a commercial with a gorgeous Asian woman with curly hair sitting at a desk? I was trying to see what the commercial was for when my asshole brother skipped it, because he doesn't care about anyone but himself.
That is false. There were a few allegations against Derek Jeter. One even after he became part of the executive office. An AAA level player had the stats to be in the MLB was denied because Jeter didn't like the him.
Mark Smith, there was another allegation that did have some proof. Jeter owed NY taxes for the three years that his full-time residence was in NYC. A settlement was reached eventually and Jeter changed his full-time residence to FL.
Good guy with a lot of intangibles however he was a mediocre defensive shortstop at best somewhat overrated. Never won a MVP, batting title, low power numbers. Had limited range and a weak and somewhat erratic throwing arm. He was lucky to have Tino and Tex at first base saving some bad throws. He was also surrounded by great players Bernie Williams, Paul ONeill, Tino and Posada. However he does have five rings and comported himself well and represented the Yankees with a certain class and elegance of manner. And he is so far the only homegrown Yankee to get 3000 hits 3465 to be exact. So all in all a great Yankee and Congratulations on the HOF.
He got robbed of MVP, he made all the defensive plays you needed him to make including the Dive, from the very beginning he was not a power hitter and saying he was lucky to have the teammates he had is kinda stupid seeing as he only has control over what he can do and not them. Looking at Derek Jeter though the eyes of these stat geeks does him and the individual doing it no Justice
@@aa697 he's not the best but sure has a great resume and career that's what the hall is about look at visquel with 11 gold gloves and still not int yet
I agree Vizquel should be in the HOF as his defense was second to none. My point about Jeter is he was not the best shortstop of his era particularly since he did not have the great range and arm at shortstop and did not hit much for power as did Nomar and Arod. He never won an MVP nor led the league in batting average and power numbers. He never really carried the team as much as a Bernie Williams and a Paul O'Neill. As far as I am concerned Bernie Williams was much more deserving to be considered the best Yankee of the so called Jeter period. Just look at Williams' offensive numbers. That is all I am saying.
@@marcelescoda7045 He went into rite aid looking to buy some milk there was no more milk then he started to complain we dont need that kind of attittude in the hall of fame
Its the shortstop you want to begin your franchise with. 20 years. The complete package. What a great player can be. Greetings from The Netherlands.

@M it's a thinking man's game, and not as straightforward as soccer, no wonder it has less mass appeal
@M that's b/c poor people can play soccer and it takes less skill. grow a brain, jackass
Derek Jeter is no CHEATER, HE DID IT THE HONEST WAY. ALWAYS MY FAVORITE PLAYER IN NEW YORK YANKEES
O M G.... Derek shouted out Bernie Williams.................. I'm dying. Yaaaaaaas Jeter!!
No, he was referring to George Steinbrenner, NOT Bernie

Great player and guy. Cut him some slack in Miami. He will build a winner there in time.

erricom that trade is gonna haunt the Yankees for a longgg time
erricom Yankees are probably already regretting the trade. Stanton cannot stay healthy at all

So relaxed and easy here, but I wish we got more of this from him when he played, but understand why he was reserved.
I love how Jeter's parents went to his sister's game vrs Jeter's game

Shortstop in majors dream shortstop of the New York Yankees heaven congratulations Derek on a amazing hall of fame career 👍
Have to get Jeter on the show more often.
Se debería traducir todas estas entrevistas en español para todos los latinos del mundo y de la figura del capitán Jeter...
Loved that story he told about himself and The Boss.
Well deserved..congratulations
Jeter the best
Babe Ruth was the greatest player in MLB and the greatest NY Yankees player.
How did he not receive 100% of the vote?
The one who didn't vote Jeter, I guess he's come from Miami 😂

Greatest Yankee ever…at least my point of view..
NOT greater than Babe Ruth.
@@sergeantmasson3669 ruth is overrated. if Ken Griffey, JR played during that ERA he would have had 1000 HRs and would have batted .560
Most popular man in baseball for many years. Only one other man, the later singer Prince. Had more beautiful exgirlfriends.
His greatest play ever was dumping Stanton on the yankees and freeing up mega bucks.A great playoff player knows a real choker from a mile away.
Has anyone watching this channel seen a commercial with a gorgeous Asian woman with curly hair sitting at a desk? I was trying to see what the commercial was for when my asshole brother skipped it, because he doesn't care about anyone but himself.
