-Hi, how are you? I’m Derek.
-Hi. I’m good. I’m Athena.

-I’m Briella.
-How are you? Derek.

You don’t have to be
nervous or anything.

Okay.
Yes, you do.

I am. [ Chuckles ]

How does it feel to get
caught in a pickle?

Ah. I feel like
I’m in one right now.

Do you like the taste
of real pickles?

I like pickles, I do.

Does it ever annoy you
that one judge

didn’t vote you to go
into the Hall of Fame?

What do you think was
wrong with that guy?

I don’t know. We should try
to find out, though.

Now, how do you strike out
1,840 times?

Is that how many times
I’ve struck out?

Yes.
Thanks for telling me that.

Yeah, it’s a lot easier
than you think.

It really is.

"The Captain"
is presented by Capitol One.

Derek: My parents were strict.

You know, when your parents
start telling you

about you’re going to sit down
for a school year

and sign a contract,
yeah, I used to fight it.

Charles: This is our
expectation, this is the bar.

It’s nothing debatable,
you know, really.

Derek: And we’d sit down
and they’d map out a contract

Every year, me and my sister,
we’d have to sign it.

I mean, it would cover
extracurricular activities,

GPA, how we were gonna respect
and treat others.

And they were serious.
You know, if you didn’t abide

by the contract,
you couldn’t play sports.

And for me, you know,
sports was number one.

Now that I am a parent,
I understand it.

It teaches you discipline.
It teaches you responsibility.

I grew up not making excuses.

Treating people with respect,

demanding respect in return.

Who you are as a person
has to matter.

How you treat people,
how you deal with people.

My big thing is on trust

and loyalty and character
and who you are.

And I want to be associated
with people who are like-minded

and people that stand
for the same things.

If I do my part, you know,
I expect these things in return.

It’s not
a one-way street.

Announcer: Tonight,
the curtain is coming down

on the biggest star on the most
magnificent stage in baseball.

Derek: During my career,
it was always,

"What’s next? What’s next?
What’s next?"

I wish I would have taken
the time to enjoy my career

a little bit more
as I was going through it.

But I also think that’s a reason
why I’m here.

And I’m thinking to myself,

this one I’m going
to try to enjoy.

I don’t know if I’m capable
of it, but I’ll try.

Announcer:
Just a beautiful night.

A little bit of a chill
in the air.

It is a jam packed
Yankee Stadium.

As the fans have come to say
good-bye to a Yankee icon.

I had a real tough time.
I was teary eyed.

I wouldn’t say
full-blown crying.

I was teary eyed.

Announcer:
It’s beginning to hit him

what this night means.

I just didn’t know how I was
going to get through the game.

You know, when you talk
about my career,

I was always pretty good
at controlling my emotions.

It was rare for me
to be experiencing

all of these emotions
while trying to play.

[ Crowd chants "Derek Jeter" ]

Announcer: He seems
to be taking it in,

looking around the ballpark.

Taking deep, heavy breaths.

Dorothy: He was a nervous wreck.

That’s the first time I’ve,
you know,

ever seen him that nervous.

[ Crowd chants "Derek Jeter" ]

Announcer: We’re going to stay
right here as Derek takes

the field for the final time.

What is going through
Derek’s mind right now

as he will head out
to his field of dreams?

Never has a game seemed like
more of an afterthought.

They were trying to decide,
how are we going to do this?

Should we take him
off the field?

Announcer: The 2-2.

That one’s drilled deep
to left field.

Gone, a home run for Adam Jones.

And the Yankees now lead 5-4.

Announcer #2: Drives one
to deep left field.

Back goes Young, looking up.
Tie game!

The only silver lining
in the Bronx

is that Jeter will bat in
the bottom half of the inning.

Oh, man, I’m...

I wanted the game to be over.

Announcer #1: Well,
it comes down to this.

Derek Jeter has always been
about the moment,

the big moment.
He owns the moment.

Does he have
one more moment in him?

He will be third up this inning.

Derek: As it all unfolds.

I wanted no part of it.
Wanted no part of it

’cause I didn’t know
how I would respond.

I really didn’t.

Announcer #1: The 1-1.

Grounded past a diving Flaherty.

Announcer #2: Well, it’s setting
up for Jeter again, isn’t it?

-And there’s a bunt.
-They get him at first.

Successful sacrifice.

Announcer #1:
That brings up Jeter.

Stadium announcer:
Batting for the Yankees,

number 2, Derek Jeter.

Number 2.

[ Crowd cheering ]

I definitely recognized
the moment.

I’m like,
"Damn, this is really unfolding.

Like, I guess this is -- it’s
really going to go down

as a good day or a bad one.

Announcer #1: Well,
the script is there.

The last page is
in Derek’s hands.

Announcer #2:
Waiting for Joseph.

If he extends his right arm,
you’ll be able to hear the boos

all the way
to Staten Island.

Announcer #3: Competitive
as Buck is,

I don’t think
he dares to do this.

People said, you know,
"Buck just pitched to him

’cause it was Derek
in his last game."

They don’t know me that well.

But I also knew that I probably
couldn’t get to the bus

if we’d have walked him.
We had to go home that day.

Announcer #4: And the pitch
is lined.

Base hit! Right field!
Here comes Richardson!

Announcer #1: Here’s the throw
from Markakis.

Richardson is safe!

Announcer #5: Derek Jeter’s
last game at Yankee Stadium...

Announcer #1:
...is a walk-off single!

Derek Jeter!
Where fantasy becomes reality!

Did you have any doubt?

[ Cheering ]

Kay: You know,
only Derek could do that.

This guy has lived
a fantasy life.

I mean, you can’t write it.

Announcer #4: You cannot
make this stuff up.

It’s a Hollywood script of a bad
grade B movie in the ’30s.

Just amazing.

You couldn’t have written
a better script.

Other than us winning
the World Series.

Waldman: It’s quite
astounding to see

someone’s entire career unfold
in front of you

and knowing you might never see
anything like that again.

You might,
but you probably won’t.

Put on a show, man.
Put on a show.

Oh, man, proud of you.

Dorothy: The end.

What is he going to do next?

Did he leave everything
on the field?

What I think he did.

Announcer #1: And now
Derek Jeter says good-bye.

Derek: I went out to short
one last time

because I wanted to remember
shortstop from Yankee Stadium.

First wanted to play shortstop
because my dad played.

That’s where I learned
the position.

That’s where I fell in love
with the position.

I take a lot of pride

in saying it’s
the only position I ever played.

That’s who I am.

You know, shortstop
for the New York Yankees.

[ Crowd cheering ]

Announcer #2: Look at
the Oriole dugout.

Announcer #3: Yeah,
they’re not leaving.

That was pretty cool.

I’m glad I got to be there
for that.

I got to see his first one
and his last one.

Announcer #6: Derek Jeter has
his first Major League hit.

Announcer #7: It’s gone!
A home run!

Announcer #8: Base hit.
2-0, New York.

Announcer #9:
From the outfield grass.

Man, what a play!

Derek: I played 20 years.
Man, that’s a long time.

And it goes by quick.

It was a dream, you know.

It was a dream because,
you know, when you retire,

it’s like you woke up.

You had to wake up.

I couldn’t think of any person

[ Cheers and applause ]

Announcer #1: So long, Derek.

I’ve always admired
and been somewhat

a little bit jealous
of teammates

who had families
during their careers.

And their kids are coming
to games

and they’re in the clubhouse
and they’re on the field.

And I used to think, "Man,
that’s got to be pretty cool,

man, to be able to share that
with your kids."

But my career always came first.
I couldn’t do it.

It just wouldn’t be fair
to who I was with

or wouldn’t be fair
to my future kids.

So I just never
crossed that line.

I thought I was being
proposed to about,

like, three times
before it actually happened.

One of the times,
we were in Capri in Italy.

Every day, I wore a white dress,
like I thought it was happening.

And, no.
It was like a lovely trip,

but I was clearly,
like, very angry at the end

because I was a little bitter.

I wasn’t ready.
[ Chuckles ]

We were in Napa Valley,
and I knew I wanted to do it.

We were on the balcony
of our room.

We had been out there talking
all night, drinking wine.

And then he, you know,
got down on one knee,

and I was like, "What?!"

He did it in such
an intimate way

where it was just him and I.
There was no photographer.

There was no one watching us.
It was just us.

I was happy for him.
You know how men are, you know.

Really?
Okay, join the club, you know.

Hannah: Once we got married,
it was something that we knew

we wanted to kind of do
right away is start a family.

He always said,
from the very beginning,

"I’m going to have all girls."

Bella:
We’re doing happy.

Make me a happy face.

Be happy!

Happy face!
Give kiss.

He has absolute joy
being a girl dad.

Dorothy: We were a fun family,
you know,

we did silly things,
and that’s what he does.

And I’m like,
"Wow, Derek, man,

you’re letting your hair down,"
even though he doesn’t have any,

but, you know,
"You’re letting your hair down."

I’m glad that we had
a girl first

because him being around
so many guys

and playing a team sport
in that way,

I felt like having a baby girl

really
just cracked him right open.

My oldest, this is when she was
about two and a half,

dropping her off at school.
I’m leaving for two days.

I tell her bye, I’m going to be
gone for a little bit.

She goes out, she’s crying,
she’s walking away.

I drive out,
my wife’s in the passenger seat,

and she looks at me,
she says, "Are you crying?

You didn’t cry
during your career.

You didn’t cry
when we got married.

You didn’t cry
when we got engaged.

And you crying, dropping
your daughter off at school."

So I was like, "No, no, no.
Just tears. Just tears."

But I tell you what.

Best thing that I could ever
experience is being a father.

And what is
your sister’s name?

Bella: My sister.

What’s your sister --
My silly sister.

Okay, close.
That was close.

Okay, so we’re doing
all this, man.

We better get a phone call, huh?

Huh, Case?

Bella: I will call you.
Derek: Yeah.

Ooh!

Casey told me, if you’re
going to get a phone call,

it should come around
this time frame.

We’re doing an awful lot
if we don’t get a phone call.

My mom said she’ll go call me.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, boy.
So I’m sitting there, man.

I got my family,
and nothing’s ringing.

It got real quiet in here,
didn’t it?

Yeah, what happened.
Real quiet.

Yeah.

you to the Hall of Fame.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you, Jack. Thank you.

I appreciate --
Jack, you know what?

I -- I always look forward
to seeing you

and hearing your voice,
but for selfish reasons,

your voice sounds

Oh, okay, okay. Okay.

Hey, you deserve it, buddy.
You deserve it, all right?

It’s okay.
It’s okay.

You know how much them genes
you got from me?

[ Laughs ]

It’s all hereditary.

It’s all

Hannah:
It meant so much to Derek.

Like, "I’ve accomplished
all of this on the field."

Did you do this all
by yourself?

Yeah.
And then, like, I now

have my own family
to enjoy this with.

Cashman: I saw Derek
at the Hall of Fame,

and he asked if I had a moment,
and we went for a walk.

I wanted him to know,

look, I know
we had butted heads,

in my mind, quite a bit.

And he wanted to convey that,

that bad blood
doesn’t exist anymore.

Derek: I just wanted to say I
have a new appreciation

for some of the decisions
that you had to make.

And maybe during my career,
maybe I needed someone

to go out there every day
to try to prove wrong.

But I just wanted him
to know that it was --

it was over and done with.

Want me to say hello
to you?

You do?
And mama.

And mama, too?
Do I have to?

It’s a culmination of
everything,

like his entire life,

from the time
he was born to now

as a father.

Should I go?

Hannah: The day of
the Hall of Fame,

I wrote a letter to his parents,

sharing with them
how great of a job

they’ve done and the morals
that they’ve instilled in him

that has carried
through his career,

but also as a father
and as a husband.

Woman: Ladies and gentlemen,
from the class of 2020,

Derek Jeter.

Thank you.

Jordan: I was proud
to be his friend.

We start to play these games,

not with the notion
of being a Hall of Famer.

We just try to be
the best athlete we can be.

If you do it the right way,
that’s where it ends up.

Without a doubt,
he should be remembered

as one of the best shortstops
to ever play.

I forgot how good that feels.

[ Applause ]

Thank you
to the baseball writers --

all but one of you --
who voted for me.

[ Laughter ]

[ Cheering ]

Hall of Fame never crossed
my mind during my career.

I really didn’t.
It was just do your job.

For me, you know,
the love of the game

and the success I had playing
it starts and ends with family.

My dad kept saying, just keep
building that résumé.

And then,
look where it got us.

Does that look like me?
No.

No, it doesn’t?
No, it doesn’t look like --

It looks like my mama.

It looks like mama.
Oh, okay.

part

of every decision that was made,
whether it was public relations

or marketing, contract
negotiations, philanthropy.

And roughly 10 years
before my career was over with,

I became vocal
that I want to be

a part of an ownership group,
and I wanted to build something.

Verducci: Being an owner
was always on his radar.

Leadership almost came
naturally to him,

and I think this seemed
to be the next step forward.

In my mind, I think this is
the greatest sport in the world,

and I’m interested
in helping the game grow.

Do you want to own
a baseball team?

I do. I mean,
that’s the ultimate goal.

I wanted to bring a perspective

as a player
into an ownership group.

Evans: I would look at him and
say to him jokingly,

"You know
there’s no Black owners, bro.

They’re not going to let you
in there."

"Oh, no,
I’m going get a baseball team."

Verducci: I think the challenge
of running an organization

really lit a fire under him.

The Marlins came on to
the market,

and if he wanted a challenge,
he picked a big one.

Because throughout the history
of the Marlins,

ownership was never committed
to putting a winner

on the field year after year.

The Marlins would win,
and then it would be gone

the very next year.

Mish: They go out in 1997,
they win the World Series.

And then, immediately
after the 1997 season,

Wayne Huizenga
looks at his books,

sells off the entire team.

And they handed Loria
the Marlins.

And then, in 2003,
beat the New York Yankees?

I think even Loria,
to himself, wondered,

"Even with us being good,

are people still
going to show up?"

The attendance figures
were not great in April.

They were not great in May.

They were not great
in June or July.

In South Florida, they’ve never
been in the habit of baseball.

To me, it all goes back
to ownership,

just the lack of full commitment

that we’re going to be good
for a while, not just one year.

Mish: And there’s one big
feature event

that really changed
the entire landscape

of his tenure
owning the Marlins.

More now on the tragedy that has
struck the baseball world.

Superstar pitcher
of the Marlins José Fernández

found dead early this morning,

the result of
a boating accident.

Mish: José Fernández was
a Cuban-born athlete in a city

where the Cuban community

is the predominant community
in South Florida.

It was probably the most tragic
sports-life moment

in the history of South Florida.

And for Loria,

when José Fernández died,
I think his genuine interest

in owning a baseball team
died with it.

Hannah: There’s only so many
Major League Baseball teams,

and they only come up
for sale every so often.

But let’s just say,
like, a team comes up

and it’s in Milwaukee.

Like, are we going to move
to Milwaukee?

No. Really, he had his eye
on Tampa and Miami,

and, honestly, we didn’t know

if it was actually possible
in his lifetime.

Derek: Major League franchises
don’t come up for sale

too often,
and there’s only 30 of them.

So there’s a lot of competition
when one becomes available.

You put the group together.
I mean, it’s a painful process.

You’re dealing with a lot
of wealthy individuals.

I mean, you think players
have a lot of money.

You’re in a
whole nother atmosphere.

It was a lot of networking.

It was a lot of flying
across the frigging world

to talk to people in order
to create the perfect group.

Verducci: Bruce Sherman and
Derek Jeter got together

just in the course
of bidding on the Marlins.

Bruce Sherman is a guy
who put together

a very successful private
wealth-management company.

Derek was putting his group
together, and, obviously,

you know, his name,
it’s magic around baseball.

They sort of combined the power
and name of Derek Jeter

and the money of Bruce Sherman.

So they’re trying to understand
who each one is,

what the responsibilities
are going in,

because
in Major League Baseball,

one person is designated
as the control person.

Hannah: His whole idea from
the very beginning was,

"I want to invest literally
my own money into this"

because, like, he wanted
to be in control.

Derek: I went into the process

as being the MLB
designated control person.

Of course
I wanted to have control.

I didn’t want to just be
a passive investor.

But during the course
of the sale,

Jeter really couldn’t be
a control person

because he didn’t have nearly
enough money in the bid.

So you can say it was set up
for a little bit of a conflict.

That’s where knowing the other
person really becomes important.

And I think because there wasn’t

a personal history
between the two,

they had to learn
those kind of things on the fly.

Woman: Miami Marlins owner
Jeffrey Loria has agreed

to sell the Marlins franchise
for $1.2 billion

to a group led by New York
businessman Bruce Sherman

and Derek Jeter.

To be honest with you,
I wasn’t positive

we were going to get the team

until the commissioner called me
and told me.

Of course, like, you celebrate.
We were so excited.

You almost feel like
the impossible happened.

How could this be?

But we didn’t know
what was in store for us.

Derek: A few weeks after our
oldest was born,

I was at my office in Tampa,
and I got a phone call.

I missed a phone call, and then
I got a text with a 911.

I had a hemorrhage at home,
but it was really, really bad.

My office, fortunately, was only
5 minutes from my house,

so I jumped in the car
and drove home

and I saw how serious it was.

Hannah:
Went to the emergency room

because I had
a placenta accreta,

which was, I guess, they didn’t
notice at the time of birth.

That was sort of a tricky
situation because I had this

like three-hour-long surgery
in order to get this piece out

so I would be able
to have kids in the future.

Really didn’t know how bad
it was until the next morning.

The next morning, a couple of
doctors came in, and one said,

"We almost lost you."

And I’m like, "What?"

I ended up having
five blood transfusions.

She almost -- She almost...
passed away.

It was hard, but, you know,
I had a 3-week-old baby,

so I didn’t really -- at the
time, I didn’t really have time

to, like, check in with myself

and see like,
"How are you feeling?

How are you doing?"

You know,
it was just kind of like

had to hit the ground running.

Derek was in the middle
of finalizing this acquisition.

So, I just remember days
after of, you know,

getting home from the hospital

and having this
really wild experience,

and, you know, within two weeks,
we had to be relocated to Miami.

We rallied and we got to Miami
and we were

in a press conference
like a few days later.

Sherman: It’s just one of the
most exciting days in my life

to be teaming up with
an icon like Derek

as the C. E. O. of
the Miami Marlins.

Gumbel: You are the first
Black C. E. O.

in Major League
Baseball history.

What’s that mean to you?

It means a lot.
I mean, it means a lot.

I’m well-versed
in the history of this game.

And, you know,
I understand that diversity,

especially in
the front office,

has been an issue
with this game.

I think there’s been
some progress,

but not quite as much
as there should be.

Taylor: Breaking a color barrier

in Major League Baseball
is massive.

It is a huge deal.
This is a moment.

This is not something
we’ve experienced.

This is something
we should appreciate.

This is something
we should document.

Becoming the C. E. O. of that
team, I’m in awe of it.

His dad is a Black Southern guy
from Alabama.

Charles: I’ve always tried to
pass along to

both Derek and Sharlee

that you, as a Black male,
you, as a Black female,

that it’s important
that you be a role model,

that you give back
to the community.

Sharlee: He knew that was
something that would allow

other young kids
to look up to and aspire

to be in that type of position.

But I think that there was also
the moment of,

"Okay, you’ve broken
this barrier.

What are you going
to do with it?"

And I know he took
that very seriously.

Rhoden: From Jackie Robinson
and to now to Derek Jeter,

owning is just part

of a beautiful evolution
toward power.

There’s going to be, at times,
unpopular decisions

that we make on behalf
of the organization,

but just understand
that every decision that we make

is for the betterment
of this organization.

Anytime you have a new ownership
group, there’s changes.

I know people are going
to be upset

and people are going to be
angry about it.

And I can’t expect you
to trust me. You don’t know me.

It takes time
to develop trust and earn trust.

One thing that
I’ve always tried to be

is very up front and honest.

There are some financial things
we have to get in order.

That’s the bottom line.

It’s an organization
that’s been losing money

for quite some time,
so we have to turn that around.

Jordan: Create your vision
and stick to that vision.

And if you believe in it,
you’ll do all the necessary work

that you need to do
to make that vision happen.

Verducci: We got a real
baseball person here,

a guy who knows how to win.

But what Derek did right away

was he
just ripped off the Band-Aid.

Man: Giancarlo Stanton has been
traded to the New York Yankees.

Man #2: The Marlins
are saturated with debt.

They have to free themselves
of some of that.

Derek: It’s tough if you have
a payroll and there’s one player

making a lot of the payroll,
then, yeah, it’s an issue.

Verducci: And then
Christian Yelich

sent to Milwaukee.

Man #3:
The fire sale is under way.

Derek: I wasn’t around
for them not winning.

So I don’t know why
it didn’t work,

but for whatever reason,
it wasn’t working here,

and we had to make changes.

We haven’t had a winning season
since ’09.

So, you know,
that’s unacceptable.

It’s unacceptable
to the ownership group.

It’s unacceptable
to the fan base.

Man #4: Derek Jeter
is ruining the Marlins.

Man #5: The first thing he does
when he comes to Miami

is take a sledgehammer
to the franchise.

Man #6: He has just stripped
this sucker down

until it is completely barren.

Derek: Look, I get it, you know,
it’s an organization

that won a World Series,
stripped the team,

won another one,
stripped the team,

built a new park,
stripped the team.

And here we come,
as a new ownership group,

and we’re making changes.

We never got into this
to chase winning one time.

The organization’s
already won twice, right?

But the fans still aren’t
coming out, because every year,

they don’t have an opportunity.

We wanted to have an opportunity
to win year in and year out.

In the Marlins’ case, it means
that they are headed

for a probable
100-loss-type season

because they have gotten rid
of such marquee names.

Coming in here with a plan.

We’re going to stick
to our plan.

Epstein: I think
there’s a natural tendency

to want to please people
and to not get people

pissed off at you,
and you respect

the organizations
and the leaders

who take a real point of view

and are willing to stand up
for what they believe in.

And Derek had real conviction
about what it takes to win.

Theo Epstein took over the Cubs
and he told the fan base,

"Look, it’s going to take
five years."

I took over the organization,

I wouldn’t put
a time frame on it.

Announcer: And that one’s going
to get into center field.

Derek: When players take
the field,

they should expect to win.

People thought I was crazy,
but I expected them to win.

Announcer:
And that ball booted.

He just feels like, if you don’t
play to win tonight,

you’re wasting your time.

Derek: We’re trying to
win ballgames every day.

But you’re enough of
a baseball man to know

that if you trade
your best players,

it’s unlikely you’re going
to win more games.

You never tell your team
that they’re expected to lose.

We have two
different mind --

I can’t wait to get you
on a golf course, man.

I mean,
I can’t wait for this one.

No, I mean --
You’re mentally weak.

One thing, looking back,
you realize,

"Hey, man,
it does take some time.

Sharlee: He knew his role was,
"I’m the face.

Any decision that is made,
whether it’s mine or not, is,

I’m going to be the one
who has to answer to it."

Jordan: It’s human nature that,
you know,

when you see Michael Jordan,
you expect, you know,

based on he won six
championships in eight years,

that the teams
that he would be owning

are going to be
deep into the playoffs.

You know, you got to realize,
I’m not playing.

Derek is no different
because he’s a champion.

Everybody thinks that,
if he’s running a team,

they should be contending
for championships.

It’s just that immediate
gratification that people expect

because Derek Jeter
is controlling the team

or Michael Jordan’s controlling
the team.

Those are the demons that you
have to, you know, deal with.

Derek: I think maybe you have
some people

that have been waiting some time
to take shots.

I remember we had a town hall
right when I first took over.

One of the fans
came up and said,

"Hey, could you imagine
George Steinbrenner

trading me and Jorge
and Andy and Mariano?"

And I said, "Absolutely,

because if we didn’t win,
we would have been gone."

[ Bella babbling ]

When Hannah went through
the issues after Bella was born,

we were told that she
wouldn’t have any more issues.

And so she got pregnant with
Story and found out

that it was going to be
a high-risk pregnancy.

Hannah: I was bleeding
throughout the pregnancy,

so I had one really
bad hemorrhage

that landed me in the hospital.

It was like
the final hemorrhage.

The doctor was like,
"What are we going to do?"

Losing blood. We don’t know
who’s losing blood.

We don’t know if it’s the baby
or it’s Hannah.

What do you want to do here?

Do we try to keep you
pregnant longer,

do we give you another steroid
shot, or do we deliver the baby?

And at that point, I think
I was like, you know, 31 weeks.

So it wasn’t ideal,
really, to give birth.

And Hannah looked at me and
said, "It’s your call."

So I was like,
"Give me a couple minutes."

Right?

So then I said,
"Well, we can’t -- we can’t...

chance it," so decided
to move forward right then.

So they gave me an emergency
C-section, and we had Story.

They immediately take her
to the NICU.

Shortly thereafter,
like a few minutes later,

they had to give me
a hysterectomy.

So that was -- kind of sucks,
but...

That was --
Yeah, that was --

Yeah, that was -- That was
a rough time right there.

Hannah: Like any parent
who’s been in that situation,

it’s the worst.

Our daughter was there
for a few weeks.

As a parent, you just want
your kids to be born healthy.

And these situations,
I had zero control.

She is by far
the strongest person I know.

Because I had a lot of
hemorrhages,

I just always had this feeling

of, like, I needed
to rush to the hospital.

And, so, that kind of...

turned into, you know,
panic attacks,

anxiety, and depression,
really, for a long time.

I remember talking,
having a few conversations

with moms and friends
and close, close friends about,

you know, it’s like,
"Oh, it’s normal

to have the baby blues
after you give birth," whatever.

And for me, it wasn’t --
I didn’t have the baby blues.

Like, it was bigger than that.

It was sort of shitty timing,

because my husband’s,
like, starting a new job,

and I’m, like, fucking
losing my mind at home

and I’m needing his support.

And, you know, it’s --

And I’m so grateful because --

’cause he dropped everything,
you know?

-What do you got?
-And that’s mom?

Yep.
Now let me see what you do.

Williams: I see him
communicating with his girls

the way his dad and his mother
communicated with him.

Dorothy: I’m super proud of the
dad and the husband he became.

I’m happy
that I see my husband in him.

He’s got a little ways to go to
become the super dad that I am,

but he’s getting there.

[ Laughs ]

thing that I was taught

when I was young is, you need
to have a wide variety

of friends and open yourself up
to other people’s experiences.

And the great thing
about our kids

we have so many different races
and religions and nationalities.

I’m gonna share some experiences
I’ve had growing up.

I’m sure my dad,
grandpa is going to --

he’s going to share stories
that he went through.

I’m proud of what I’ve done
in my career,

but having a family of my own
is the ultimate.

To be able
to share that with Hannah,

it brings you so much joy,

regardless of what happens
on a daily basis,

that you have a family that --
most days, not all days --

look forward to seeing you
when you get home.

Bella: Mommy, no!

it’s a platform for athletes.

And what we want to do
is give athletes,

equip athletes with the tools

to help them tell their stories
in an authentic, unbiased way.

Sabathia: It was fitting that he
started a media outlet

for players because he would
always be frustrated

that other people
would tell guys’ stories.

Anyone that says that
the relationship

between athletes
and journalists,

reporters is not fractured,
they’re lying to you.

Yeah.
Right? It is.

And it’s the trust factor.
Players have different ideas.

They want to speak up
and speak out.

But one thing
that’s lacking

is the trust
of who they’re speaking to.

We not perfect.
We never talked about --

We want to show people that
you can still

be a good person,
have a successful life,

have a good life no matter
what you’ve been through.

You know, going through that
and losing her at that time,

it rocked me.

If you have the technology,
you have a platform,

and Derek recognized,
"We can control the platform."

Reynolds: "Players’ Tribune"
changed everything.

The 25th man on the team had the
same power as a Michael Jordan.

That is powerful.

That’s why somebody like
Derek Jeter is so important.

He’s a true example
of America changing.

Taylor: He’s slowly pushing the
needle in the right direction.

And, so, I feel like
that also happened with him

as the C. E. O. of the Marlins.

Derek: I took a lot of pride
in making sure

that we added people
to the organization

that add value but also bring
different points of view.

Whether it was
Caroline O’Connor,

I brought in
as my chief of staff.

She was promoted to C. O. O.

she was the highest-ranking
female in Major League Baseball.

Hiring Kim Ng
as the general manager,

first female general manager
in any of the major sports.

Ng: People are looking for hope.

People are looking for
inspiration.

And I’m happy
that this is a part of it.

By hiring Kim Ng,
it’s the most significant hire

maybe in the history
of Major League Baseball.

Cashman: She was impactful for
us in the front office.

I couldn’t have found
a better person to help,

you know, guide me.

She was instrumental
in all facets of our operations.

Derek: I had known Kim from
the Yankee days,

when she was assistant
general manager.

It’s funny how it works,
because Kim was part of

the arbitration case against me,

but I always had a great deal
of respect for her

and what she’s accomplished
in her career.

I really started to dig into
how important Derek Jeter

could be to Black culture,

to Black baseball culture,
to baseball culture, period.

Holt: Outrage at the death
of George Floyd,

an African-American man,

while in police custody
in Minneapolis.

It is a precarious moment
for this country

still in the grip of a pandemic.

In 2020, when every team
was releasing a statement

and one came from Derek Jeter,
it was huge,

because for so long,

we didn’t hear from Derek Jeter
on issues of race.

Man: "I am deeply saddened by
the death of George Floyd

and feel the pain
and outrage it has caused

his family and people
throughout the world."

We all know, as athletes,
you don’t want

to ruffle feathers sometimes,
you know,

especially as Black athletes,

you don’t want
to ruffle feathers.

I wanted our players
to understand

that they had my support.

They had the organization’s
support.

Chisholm:
What’s happening with the Black
lives in our communities?

It’s sickening to watch
that every day.

Do whatever I can do, especially
with the platform that I have.

Derek: You know, sometimes you
go through situations like that,

it brings players
closer together

because it’s almost like
it’s us against the world.

Announcer: That’s chopped
up the middle.

There’s one. On to first.
It’s a double play.

And the Marlins have clinched
a playoff berth.

Derek: That was the time frame
I had.

Look, man, we went
to the playoffs in 2020.

That’s our third year.

First time in the postseason
in a long time.

And I don’t care what
anyone says

about an abbreviated season,
I really don’t.

Announcer: Swing and a miss.
And the ballgame is over.

And the Miami Marlins

will advance to the
National League Division Series.

Verducci: It was an important
step forward,

and it also sort of changed
the mind-set

that, you know, they could put
a team together in Miami

that could win
based on their young pitching.

And it might be the best young
starting staff

in the game
of baseball right now.

We got to the postseason a lot
quicker than people thought,

and then we took
a little step back.

Announcer: It’s a long run
for Duvall.

And he missed
And that ends the ballgame.

Verducci:
The longer season in 2021

sort of exposed
the lack of depth in the Marlins

and especially there just wasn’t
enough offensive firepower.

Derek was C. E. O. of the Marlins
on a team in 2021

that took a huge step back
on the baseball side.

People are still not going to
Major League Baseball games.

We’ve built the foundation
which you need to do

in order to compete
for a championship.

We have new partners
on the business side.

We have a new RSN deal.
We named the park.

We built a top minor-league
system in baseball.

But you see things, over time,
start to develop,

differences in opinion
start to develop.

If the vision that we set out
for this organization,

if now that they’re
going to change course,

then I can’t be out front
saying I believe in it.

I take a lot of pride
in having integrity.

I take a lot of pride
in having high morals.

And I’m not going
to change that.

It just wouldn’t be me

if -- if I was still
in the position.

And then, at the end,
it was quick.

Man: We start with a developing
story on "SportsCenter."

Derek Jeter is stepping down
as C. E. O. of the Miami Marlins.

In a statement,
the Hall of Famer saying,

"The vision for the future of
the franchise is different

than the one
I signed up to lead."

Did we ever imagine
we’d be here?

Fuck, no. Like this was why
we moved to Miami.

Like, we live here.
This is our community.

It’s more upsetting to us
than anyone else.

Derek: I hold my head up high
down here in Miami

because everything that I said
that we were going to do,

we were doing, all right?

Never lied to anyone here.

It’s just another lesson.

You learn lessons
in life, right?

You do. And then, it goes back
to, in terms of me...

not trusting people or taking
a long time to trust people.

And then, you go
through situations like this,

and it just reinforces,
you know,

how I’ve been thinking
my entire life, so...

Hannah: The way things ended

just puts a sour taste
in your mouth.

It was very, very upsetting.

And I think he’s still sort of
wrapping his head around

how this all --
like, "How did I get here?"

What was really hard
was that this happened

after one of his
best friends dies.

I mean, we talk about
that close-knit group of friends

that Derek has,
and Gerald was my guy.

I mean, just a strong, proud man
and just loyal to the bone.

He’s been like
a staple for Derek

as one of his closest friends
for so many years.

You know, "G" is someone
who’s going to be missed.

He’s the godfather to Story.

He is one of my best friends
in the world.

And you talk about
one of the most difficult things

that I’ve ever had to do
was to say goodbye to Gerald,

knowing that he was
a couple hours away from --

from passing.

Man, he’s --
He was a special one.

♪

I get all
the tough questions, man.

Say what?

Every day,
same old tough questions.

Telling him, H.

Alex and Derek obviously
have a lot of history.

As long as our relationship
is fine,

I could care less
what other people think.

The thing is,
it’s still a topic today.

Someone will bring up his name,
and they’ll insinuate

something going on
with our relationship.

Hannah: There’s clearly
some hurt

or anger or something
still there.

But I just like to remind Derek

that not everyone
at that young age

had that same ability to handle
the press the way you did.

Derek: And, I mean,
we were in our mid-20s.

We allowed -- I probably allowed
the picture just to be painted

by others for so many years.

I think it would be
probably good for them,

at some point, like,
without the cameras rolling,

to actually have
a real conversation

because he’s at
a different place in his life.

Some things have changed.
My perspective, my outlook now

has changed because, you know,
one, you’re having a family

and you go through experiences
in life and you learn.

But we’ll sit down
and talk and...

put it to bed.

You know, nobody’s perfect.

Like, I made my fair share
of mistakes, but...

I wouldn’t change anything.

I wouldn’t change anything
to happen

because that’s the reason
why I’m here.

And that’s...who I am.

I was asked his question
when I retired.

"What’s most important
that you’re remembered by?"

And I always just said, "Man,

I wanted to be remembered
as a Yankee."

That was the only thing
I ever wanted to do,

the only thing
I ever wanted to be.

Kay: Derek’s the homegrown kid.

He’s the Yankee from birth.

Zillo: I just think it was
something he was

almost born into.

Championship shortstop,
New York Yankees.

You know, happy and, you know,
all the hard work paid off.

And I’m finally getting a chance
to play up here,

and hopefully I can stay.

Bryant: Derek’s a competitor.

There’s nothing more important
to Derek than winning.

Nothing.

Announcer: The Yankees win!

And he won
more than anybody else.

Mr. World Champion
shortstop.

Jadakiss: His being in New York
and winning,

he has something to do
with the frequency in this city.

Jeter’s going to always
come to your mind

any time you think
about New York.

That’s the impact
that he had on the city.

Rhoden: The New York Yankees
are New York’s team.

When the Yankees are rolling,
then everything rolls.

To be the captain,
to be the star of the Yankees,

Jeter was just the perfect guy.

Even down to the fact
that he’s biracial.

There was a sense that Derek
kind of belonged to everybody.

Announcer: We will remember this
game for the rest of our lives.

Cashman: Derek Jeter represents
all that we want to become

in this country, basically,

which is we want
to have success,

we want to do good,
we want to do right,

want to have a great family.

He’s done all those things.

Fat Joe: Guy came from humble
beginnings to being a captain

to being an owner.

He’s exemplifies
that it can be done.

He was bigger than the sport
because he represents so much

to everybody the way
he always carries himself.

He was an inspiration for me

to try to be
an honest person with integrity.

Tirado: He gained
the trust of the city.

It’s majestic
what he was able to do.

Jackson: He was respected
and liked.

His concern was trying
to do the right things

for the person that he was.

Winfield: Continue to break
records, to break ground,

do things that
haven’t been done before.

Jordan: He inspires others
to be great.

Not in baseball, maybe
not in sports, but in life.

Very few people
can inspire people that way.

That’s where Derek Jeter is
more powerful than people know.

Rollins: There is no doubt
that Derek

is an American
cultural icon, period.

And if you don’t believe it,
you just hatin’.

Dorothy: He didn’t have to say,
"Hey, look at what I’m doing."

He just did it.

If that’s an icon, maybe so.

I think of my son as my son.

Derek: I was fortunate to do
what I always wanted to do.

And there are a lot of perks
that came along with it.

A lot of attention,
a lot of notoriety

because of the job I had
and where I played.

But, no, I just don’t
look at myself like that.

One thing that I’ve come to find
is, you know,

if you sit around here
and you’re always saying,

"What’s next,
what’s next, what’s next?"

You never get a chance
to enjoy anything.

And I think I’ve gone through
a large portion of my adult life

not enjoying things, day to day
not enjoying it because it’s,

"What’s tomorrow, what’s
tomorrow, what’s tomorrow?"

That’s one
of my character flaws.

So right now, I just want to
enjoy each day.

Bella: That’s okay.

[ Chuckles ]
Is that funny?

Because it’s been
a hell of a ride, man.

And it’s...

It’s not over.
