Derek Jeter Retiring From New York Yankees

All the National Baseball team flags were taken down and
replaced by Derek Jeter's logo flags in the stadium.

In New York City, last Sunday, new flags were risen with the logo of the retiring shortstop for the Yankees.  "Derek Jeter", once the speaker announced his name, the entire crowd would scream, rumbling the Yankees Stadium. They all stand and lift their caps in complete awe over the icon stepping onto the baseball field. He has been the captain of the Yankees for the past ten years, leading his team to four World Series and uncountable playoffs. He was the MVP of the 2000 World Series against the NY Mets.  

Throughout his career he has played amazing defense which is why he has won the Golden Glove five times, and tremendous offense. He is the only New York Yankee to ever hit over 3,000 hits and still counting; this sets him in sixth place on the MLB all-time list. As for the postseason, Jeter has 200 career hits, which is the most in MLB history.

The Captain will be missed dearly, and has had "the greatest job in the world". A big thanks for his dedication through it all and setting a good example for young athletes to look up too. Derek Jeter has proved that "dreams do really come true," if only you work for it.
