After rehabbing a broken ankle for the last nine months, Derek Jeter, arguably the greatest New York Yankee of all time, returned to the lineup earlier today.

So how did he do?

*Shrug*

That’s what ESPN’s around for, bro.

We’re not going to breakdown stats here.

We’re hip-pop, so when we talk Derek Jeter, we are talking Derek Jeter and pop culture.  

And the truth is that your boy Derek Jeter is an icon on and off the field.

Now that one of baseball’s most recognizable faces is back, let’s celebrate the legend himself.

So, wait: what makes Jeter so cool anyway?

Well, Derek Jeter is the ultimate player… 

on the field… 

And, of course, off the field…

And, don’t worry, ladies: he’s not just a name chaser…

He won’t Tiger Woods you, either 

NOPE

 

Derek Jeter is a charmer…

He’s also pretty funny.

You need proof, catch him on Seinfeld

Or one of those ESPN commercials… 

Or in one of those Saturday Night Live episodes… 

Or in a ESPY skit…

OK, that wasn’t that funny.

Still, Derek Jeter is a pretty swaggy guy… 

Just not during the off-season…  

Ugh, just ignore that pic.

Check out the swag don as a kid, though… 

Also, he never cheated…

And he’s won a lot not cheating… 

He’s also not ARod…

Which is always a good thing…

It’ll be a sad day when he walks onto that field for the last time… 

So enjoy him while you can.
