New York Yankees: Six years ago today, Derek Jeter walked off Yankee Stadium with style

New York Yankees, Yankees, Derek Jeter

Derek Jeter had one of the most legendary New York Yankees careers. On September 25, 2014, Jeter played the final game of his 20-year career at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.  And, in usual Jeter style, he did it in the most amazing way. With the game tied between the Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles, the legendary voice announced: Derek Jeter, number 2 Derek Jeter. Jeter stepped to the plate and hit a walk-off single to win the game for the Yankees.

Jeter throughout his career always seemed to come up big in key situations. Just three years earlier with his 3,000th hit on the line. Jeter singled for his 2,999th hit. In his next at-bat, he got his 3,000th with a dramatic home run to left field. He ended up going 5 for 5 on the day. His illustrious career seemed to be almost choreographed at important moments.

Tonight six years to the day he had that walk-off game at Yankee Stadium, his Miami Marlins team will meet up with the New York Yankees on the same field where he ended his baseball career.
