A finer script could not have been written for this day in his life, his last game to be played in front of his Yankee Fans at Yankee Stadium.
Rain threatened all day .... God and Derek Jeter kept it away, not a drop fell during the game.
The Yankee's starting pitcher hurled a superb game, going in to the top of the ninth inning, the Yanks had a comfortable 3 run lead.
In this day and age of specialization, regardless of how things are going .... you bring in your "closer" to finish the game, which happened here. The "closer" allowed Baltimore to tie the game .... so, the Yankees and Derek Jeter faced a tie game ....... a runner got on base ..... Mister Jeter came up to bat with a runner on base ...... then, this pitch ..... a hit by Mister Jeter ..... and the runner scored. The base runner, Derek Jeter glanced home, between first and second ..... and saw the winning run cross home plate ..... he leaped into the air, arts stretched out ...... his last game here, he drove in the winning run.
Yes, there is a God, and he loves baseball, the Yankees and especially Derek Jeter. A fitting ending for a very emotional game, and it ended with him doing what he loved best, and had for so many years, winning baseball games ........ Number 2 will be missed, a true professional.
