Derek Jeter will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Wednesday, the latest and last nod to one of the most decorated careers in Yankee history, and the team he represented for all 20 years of his career paid tribute on Wednesday morning.
The Yanks released a six-minute tribute video, narrated by celebrity superfan Billy Crystal, chronicling Jeter’s road to Cooperstown, which ran right through the Bronx. The video includes all of the unforgettable moments that made Jeter a legend, from The Flip to his 3,000th hit, and his last at-bat at Yankee Stadium.
Of course, the video also includes the scouting reports and famous quote from Dick Groch, the scout who said that Jeter “would not be attending the University Michigan. The only place Derek Jeter is going is Cooperstown.”
On Wednesday afternoon, that’s exactly where Jeter will be going.
