The NFL has had four such players (Lou Groza-CLE, Jackie Slater-LA/STL, Darrell Green-WAS and most recently Jason Hanson-DET from ). The NHL has had 11 (George Armstrong-TOR, Jean Beliveau-MTL, Dit Clapper-BOS, Alex Delvecchio- DET, Henri Richard-MTL, Stan Mikita-CHI, Ken Daneyko-NJ, Steve Yzerman-DET, Joe Sakic-QUE/COL, Niklas Lindstrom- DET and most recently Martin Brodeur-NJ from 1991-pres). The NBA has had no such players but John Stockton has come the closest with 19 seasons with Utah from through Core Four According to Elias, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada became the first trio of teammates in MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL history to appear in at least one game together in each of 17 consecutive seasons from the second-longest trios in Yankees franchise history played 13 years together (Bill Dickey, Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing from ; and Whitey Ford, Elston Howard and Mickey Mantle from ).

Jeter started at shortstop and went 0-for-4. Pettitte also appeared that day, starting and going 2.0IP. Ramiro Mendoza picked up the win, Rivera pitched 1.0IP and John Wetteland earned his 43rd save. Posada pinch-hit for Paul O Neill in the contest, striking out. The Yankees won, 4-2, and the losing pitcher was Boston s Roger Clemens.

6 Kudos from Colleagues In the 21-plus years in which I have served as Commissioner, Major League Baseball has had no finer ambassador than Derek Jeter. Since his championship rookie season of 1996, Derek has represented all the best of the National Pastime on and off the field. He is one of the most accomplished and memorable players of his or any era. Derek is the kind of person that generations have emulated proudly, and he remains an exemplary face of our sport. Major League Baseball looks forward to celebrating his remarkable career throughout the 2014 season. -Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig, 2/12/14 He is unquestionably one of the greatest Yankees ever. He has meant so much to fans, the organization, my father and our family. I m glad we have this year to celebrate everything he has meant to us and all the great things he still stands to accomplish. Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner It has been an incredible honor having a front row seat for one of the great players of all time. Derek has been a winner every step of the way. I am already looking forward to an exciting final chapter of his storied career. Yankees GM Brian Cashman Derek Jeter has been a great representative of what the Yankees have stood for over the years. He has been a team player who has only cared about winning. He has also been a fine example both on and off the field over his long tenure as a Yankee. It has been a real pleasure to manage him and play alongside him. Yankees Manager Joe Girardi It was an honor and privilege to have Derek next to me for all those years. He made me a better player and a better person. I m so proud of our friendship and I love him like a brother. Derek was a true champion and the greatest teammate I ever had. Jorge Posada I m so happy that Derek will get to go out on his terms and his way. He was as special a teammate as any player could ever have. I m blessed to have played with him. Yankees fans and baseball fans all over the world will have a lot to celebrate this season. Bernie Williams I was fortunate as a young player in this town to be able to watch how Derek Jeter conducted himself on and off the field. I had the privilege to call Derek a teammate during the World Baseball Classic and got to see firsthand how to lead by example. I ve always been a big Derek Jeter fan for what he has done on the baseball field. I became an even bigger fan after getting to know Derek and learning there is more to this game than what goes on between the lines. Excluding the Subway Series, I wish him all the best in his final season. Mets Captain David Wright It s going to be sad for the game of baseball to see him leave, especially for the guys who have been around a long time he s been a mainstay in the game. He s been a great ambassador for the game, a class act, on top of being a Hall of Fame player. He s done it the right way that s why he s so respected by everybody in the game. You will see that this year when he s doing his farewell tour. The admiration and respect that he s going to get is right up there with Mariano. Tigers Pitcher Justin Verlander He s the way you want kids to grow up. There is nobody perfect on this Earth. Only Jesus was perfect, but he s pretty close to being that perfect guy. Angels First Baseman Albert Pujols He is the walking example of what s good in baseball. Indians Manager Terry Francona They created the Hall of Fame for players like him. Never a doubt. Totally earned. He may be the first 100 percenter. Rays Manager Joe Maddon In some ways, it s bittersweet. I think we all have enjoyed watching him play and the way he s carried himself, the way he s performed in between the lines. And yet you realize that players don t go on forever. I guess in a word, he epitomizes the word professional, in just the success he s had and the way he s conducted himself on and off the field in a city like New York, and to do it in the style that he has. He s synonymous with winning and just a Yankee legend. He sets the bar for the way guys go about their game. Red Sox Manager John Farrell If there s one guy that the baseball game is going to miss once he s retired, it s Derek. Derek is very professional, that s a guy that is all about the game, all about the business. He is one of the baseball players that I can tell you that pretty much his whole career has done everything perfectly right. And when I watch him play I get goosebumps. That s one of the players that everybody wants to come and see. That s a player that definitely we re all going to miss after he s done with baseball. Red Sox Player David Ortiz For nearly 20 years, there has been no greater ambassador to the game of baseball than Derek Jeter. Day in and day out, on the world s greatest stage, and through the peaks and valleys of a 162-game schedule, Derek consistently demonstrates awe-inspiring levels of passion, determination and excellence. I had the pleasure of playing against and with Derek. As his teammate in 2004, I had the privilege of seeing his leadership and professionalism manifest itself daily. A champion on and off the field, Derek s impact cannot be understated. Not only does he make the game better, he makes lives better through his Turn2 charitable foundation. Derek has set the standard that we should all strive to achieve. I wish Derek all the best this season and in all his future endeavors. -MLB Players Association Executive Director Tony Clark

12 The Speech It s kind of hard to believe that 20 seasons have gone by so quickly. There are so many people I want to thank, and I ll get the opportunity to do that over the next few weeks both publicly and privately. I want to take a brief moment to thank the Steinbrenner family and Mr. George Steinbrenner for giving me the opportunity to play my entire career for the only organization I ever wanted to play for. I want to thank my family and friends, who are all over. Thanks for all the love and support throughout the years, through the good times, and more importantly, through the tough times. Thank you very much. My managers, coaches, trainers, teammates, both current and former. I ve been blessed to play with the best. I wouldn t want to compete without any of you guys, so thank you very much. Lastly, most importantly, I want to thank you, the fans. Everyone that s here today, anyone that s at home watching, anyone that s ever been here over the course or watched during the last 20 seasons, thank you very much. You guys have all watched me grow up over the last 20 years. I ve watched you, too. Some of you guys are getting old, too. But I want to thank you for helping my feel like a kid for the last 20 years. In my opinion, I ve had the greatest job in the world. I ve had the chance to be the shortstop for the New York Yankees and there s only one of those. I always felt as though my job was to try to provide joy and entertainment for you guys, but it can t compare to what you ve brought me, so for that, thank you very much. I ve loved what I ve done, I love what I do, and more importantly, I ve loved doing it for you. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much. We ve got a game to play. A custom-made engraved Waterford Crystal from Ireland and etched with Derek Jeter s Final Season Logo (see full engravement message on page 10). A 30 x 30 banner of Derek Jeter batting at the original Yankee Stadium was unveiled in the Great Hall by members of the Turn 2 Foundation s Jeter s Leaders prior to the Derek Jeter Day ceremonies.

13 The Captain s Curtain Call On February 12, Derek Jeter announced he would retire following the 2014 season. His post from his Turn 2 Foundation s Facebook page is below. I want to start by saying thank you. I know they say that when you dream you eventually wake up. Well, for some reason, I ve never had to wake up. Not just because of my time as a New York Yankee but also because I am living my dream every single day. Last year was a tough one for me. As I suffered through a bunch of injuries, I realized that some of the things that always came easily to me and were always fun had started to become a struggle. The one thing I always said to myself was that when baseball started to feel more like a job, it would be time to move forward. So really it was months ago when I realized that this season would likely be my last. As I came to this conclusion and shared it with my friends and family, they all told me to hold off saying anything until I was absolutely 100% sure. And the thing is, I could not be more sure. I know it in my heart. The 2014 season will be my last year playing professional baseball. I ve experienced so many defining moments in my career: winning the World Series as a rookie shortstop, being named the Yankees captain, closing the old and opening the new Yankee Stadium. Through it all, I ve never stopped chasing the next one. I want to finally stop the chase and take in the world. For the last 20 years I ve been completely focused on two goals: playing my best and helping the Yankees win. That means that for 365 days a year, my every thought and action were geared toward that goal. It s now time for something new. From the time I was a kid, my dream was always very vivid and it never changed: I was going to be the shortstop for the NY Yankees. It started as an empty canvas more than 20 years ago, and now that I look at it, it s almost complete. In a million years, I wouldn t have believed just how beautiful it would become. So many people have traveled along this journey with me and helped me along the way: I want to especially thank The Boss, the Steinbrenner family, the entire Yankees organization, my managers, my coaches, my teammates, my friends, and of course, above all, my family. They taught me incredible life lessons and are the #1 reason I lasted this long. They may not have been on the field, but they feel they played every game with me, and I think they are ready to call it a career as well. I also couldn t have done it without the people of New York. NY fans always pushed me to be my best. They have embraced me, loved me, respected me and have ALWAYS been there for me. This can be a tough, invasive, critical and demanding environment. The people of this city have high expectations and are anxious to see them met. But it s those same people who have challenged me, cheered for me, beat me down and picked me back up all at the same time. NY made me stronger, kept me more focused and made me a better, more well-rounded person. For that I will be forever grateful. I never could have imagined playing anywhere else. I will remember it all: the cheers, the boos, every win, every loss, all the plane trips, the bus rides, the clubhouses, the walks through the tunnel and every drive to and from the Bronx. I have achieved almost every personal and professional goal I have set. I have gotten the very most out of my life playing baseball, and I have absolutely no regrets. Now it is time for the next chapter. I have new dreams and aspirations, and I want new challenges. There are many things I want to do in business and in philanthropic work, in addition to focusing more on my personal life and starting a family of my own. And I want the ability to move at my own pace, see the world and finally have a summer vacation. But before that, I want to soak in every moment of every day this year, so I can remember it for the rest of my life. And most importantly, I want to help the Yankees reach our goal of winning another championship. Jeter celebrates after the final out of the Yankees 2009 World Series victory. Once again, thank you.
