Derek Jeter said it was a day he would never forget, adding that Sunday's tribute for him at Yankee Stadium as the team's soon-to-be retired captain was emotional and surprising.
Family, friends, former teammates and baseball dignitaries joined in Derek Jeter Day to salute the five-time World Series winner and 14-time All-Star as he winds down his 20th and last Major League Baseball season.
One of the surprises for the 40-year-old Jeter was the participation of NBA legend and friend Michael Jordan.
