It’s not exactly breaking news, but Derek Jeter’s former teammates don’t hate him.
The retiring captain was saluted before Sunday’s game by a slew of his former cohorts in a video message that almost reads as a through-the-years timeline. From Nick Swisher’s bro-friendly words to a stoic Phil Hughes thanking the Captain; a heartfelt Tino Martinez speaking about “what a privilege” it was to play alongside him; and Chili Davis and Cecil Fielder offering Jeter thoughts about what he means to them.
The video underscores just how long the Yankees haven’t had to worry about who would man shortstop.
