Derek Jeter has just said his final farewell and has gone out a winner. He leaves with five World Series rings, sixth all-time hits list, a player true to the game of baseball, but better than that he truly was Mr.Clean.
He was an all around guy on and off the field, He had a work ethic that drove him to play hard, do his best and to treat all people with respect. The Yankees really struck gold when they hired Derek Jeter to play for them and I think it was the best decision they ever made. In my opinion, he conducted himself well and didn’t disrespect America’s past time by doing things that would tarnish the game as others have done.
He is, was and forever will be a true role model for future generations to look up to. I think even our own politicians can learn a lesson or two from Jeter and do the right thing as Jeter as done. Now as for Derek Jeter, let me say,” Derek Jeter, You’ve done good “ !
