@kevinmartinez46953 years agoDerek jeter is that perfect story that is on the mind of every child who plays baseball and dreams of reaching the big leagues, but it is also that story man, his career is amazing, it' s like a fairy tale, it' s perfect. Michael kay' s words in jeter' s last game at yankee stadium fit perfectly and i love hearing that phrase. " where fantasy becomes reality" while i' m watching that walk-off hit, it' s just amazing. i remember that i started watching him play since i was 7 years old and now i am 27 years old and he is someone who i saw him on television and he motivated me to never give up and be a leader until my college baseball teammates named me captain without my asking. I am a big fan of his career that my golden dream was to play besides him, he on ss, me on 2b, on prinstripes, oh men! That' s what i imagined when i was younger!
