On Sunday, future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, who retired following the 2014 season, will have his number retired by the Yankees and be enshrined in Yankee Stadium's Monument Park.
Obviously, that's going to be a big day for Jeter, Yankees fans, and all of baseball. In advance of that deserved feting, Jeter has taken to the electronic pages of his very own Players' Tribune to write a thank you note of sorts to the city with which he'll always be associated. Click over if you want to read what Jeter has to say to New York City or watch below as Jeter and other New Yorkers read those words. Seriously, it's a pretty cool video ...
Nicely done, but why didn't they let the pigeons speak? People, why not the pigeons?
