Derek Jeter Played The Final Game Of His Two-Decade Career In A Rivalrous Matchup Against The Red Sox!

It’s the end of an era.
That’s because Derek Jeter has officially played his last Major League Baseball game.
The shortstop finished his 19th season with the Yankees in a fated match up against rival team the Red Sox.
Derek got his final hit, his 3,465th hit, we should say, during the third inning of yesterday morning’s game. His four-digit hit tally makes him the sixth highest hitting player in the history of the game, so it’s safe to say that baseball lost a great one yesterday.

Derek played his last home game in New York last Thursday, beating the Orioles 6-5.
The 40-year-old won’t just be missed by his team, which he’s been the captain of since 2003, but he’ll also be remembered by the entire sports community; including Gatorade who gave him this incredible send-off after nearly two decades in the game.
The Yankees beat the Red Sox 9-5. Not a bad way to wrap things up.
