Derek Jeters Departure

The 2014 Major League Baseball season will go down in the record books as one of the most memorable seasons of our generation. This year marks the final season of the twenty year career of Derek Jeter. Regarded as one of the greatest shortstops to ever play the game and one of the most iconic athletes of his era Jeter will be greatly missed by fans worldwide. Jeter was born and raised in the Kalamazoo area and has played his entire career with the New York Yankees. The Yankee captain is a five time world series champion, has been selected to the all-star team fourteen times, recipient of  five gold glove awards, five silver slugger awards, and is a member of the three thousand hit club. Jeter will be a unanimous hall of fame inductee and will always be remembered as one of the greatest players to ever put on a uniform. In the words of Jeter "I thank the good lord everyday for making me a Yankee".
