Of the moments he shared, one of his statements was the night’s highlight. Jeter revealed he didn’t like the vibe at Yankee Stadium that day and found it eerily similar to attending his own funeral.
Ouch! Derek Jeter made a bold statement there.
Derek Jeter prayed to the Almighty before going for his final at-bat
Derek opened up to Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show” in 2014 about praying to God before going for his last at-bat.
Jeter told Fallon:
Derek eventually hit a walk-off single to defeat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 in his final at-bat. Thus, it appears God heard his prayers.
Jeter never shied away from professing his love for baseball. He wrapped up the episode by expressing gratitude for his 20-year MLB career.
Jeter said:
Post-retirement, Derek founded “The Players’ Tribune,” a sports blog, in 2014 but later sold it in 2019 to Minute Media.
